# "This is the story of a roebuck, born into an overcrowded game reserve, driven out of his native woods by his stronger and more aggressive kindred, and left to find his own way about the inimical world of man and beast. How the young buck grows older and more cunning; how he learns to weather the seasons and to find food in all kinds of places; the comradeship of wild things in the bitter Northern winter and their hostility in the ardours of the rutting season; the changing moods of the year along the shores of the Baltic; the patience of the hunter and the tireless wariness of the hunted; is interwoven in this story of the growth, maturity and old age of the forest roebuck, appropriately illustrated by 15 plates from drawings by Cecil G. Trew."
