"The Forest" contains a collection of related short stories about Mr. White's camping experiences in -- I believe -- South Eastern Canada, probably just north of Michigan. Mr. White's style is often humorous, often educational, sometimes exciting, and always entertaining. His vocabulary and syntax are of the early 1900's. Anyone who has ever been camping will find familiar at least some of the situations to which Mr. White alludes. Those unfortunate enough not to have enjoyed the camping experience will find themselves at least planning for such an adventure.
I read "The Forest" several times in college and became so enamored with Mr. White's writing that I began collecting his books. The collection now numbers over thrity.
