This is another Sam Campbell book that carries his readers far behind the scenes in nature into a most friendly and intimate acquaintance with forest creatures. It tells new things about this old world--things that call forth our faith and joy so easily lost sight of in human confusion.

In the story you see the Philosopher of the Forest and his wife Giny again as the ardent nature lovers. You feel their love for all that lives in the gripping daily events at their Wisconsin Sanctuary. A number of fine old friends come trooping though the scenes. Inky, now a grizzled old patriarch of a porcupine, waddles in for a greeting. Salt and Pepper, the pair of porcupines, are there; so are Sausage the groundhog, and the five red squirrels Eeny, Meeny, Miney, Mo and Still-Mo. Still-Mo--what a surprise that creature has for you!

There are new friends, too. Into the pages comes adorable little Hi-Bub, a boy at the wide-eyed age, seeing the northwoods for the first time. A soldier, Sandy the Squoip, tall, strong, light-haired native of the north, returns from the battlefields of Europe to join in Sanctuary adventures. Link Sausage, a woodchuck, and her six mischievous youngsters Thuringer, Bratwurst, Salami, Wiener, Patty, and O. Bologna are present to keep you laughing. An old canoe named Buddies, scarred veteran of wilderness travel, demands a place in your affections, too. Now Sam Campbell lets you look more deeply into his heart. For years he has held to a dream--one shared with Giny and Sandy Squiop. It is of fancied Sanctuary Lake, far in the forest vastness of the north where his study of wild animals can go undisturbed.

Together the Philosopher, Giny and Sandy travel beyond the Wisconsin Sanctuary into the canoe country of Canada, seeking their haven. To this quest Sandy has added on so this own--to find in himself the faith and power to adjust his life to the demand of peace. They travel in the time-tested canoe through the beautiful, unspoiled lakes of the north country. They pitch their tents on wooded shores and portage over trails teeming with wild life. There are problems, difficulties and hardships typical of virgin regions, but at last, with the aid of Indian Joe, they succeed in making their dream come true.

Buddie, the old canoe, serves faithfully until the end. Now that the quest has been so marvelously fulfilled, the Philosopher and his friends say good-by to it in a scene you will long remember.

You will warm to the friendship of Sandy the Squoip, and in his triumph over his problem find a timely message that will inject comfort and resolution into the confusions and quandaries of these days of adjustment. You will take Hi-Bub into your heart, as the Philosopher does. Above all you will be inspired by the woodland wisdom, the hope-lifting faith and cheer of Sam Campbell. "People who sing, play, and not kill--they good!" says Indian Joe. You endorse his words, knowing that they are truly spoken of Sam Campbell and his friends.
