About the Book

Legal history is the study of how law has evolved over time, and why it has evolved. Legal history parallels the development of civilisations, and is a component of social history. Legal historians record the evolution of laws and provide an analysis of how these laws evolved, so that the origins of various legal concepts can be better understood. Some consider legal history to be a branch of intellectual history. Twentieth century historians assess in a more contextualised manner, much like social historians, viewing legal institutions as complex systems of rules, participants and symbols that have interacted with society to promote changes in certain aspects of civil society.

"This is a collection of short stories focused on nature, animal and human interaction and animal-animal interaction.
Due to the era in which it was written, some of the stories seem a little barbaric in their portrayal of man, which is appropriate for the time but may disturb some readers today. The author was well known at the time for his poetry and each story is beautifully crafted and just wonderful reading. If you are an outdoors person or love nature/animals, or simply appreciate beautiful descriptive writing then this is for you."

Hoof and Claw [New York1914] Charles G D Roberts Books Reviews

• This exceptional collection of short-stories by Canadian poet Charles G D Roberts was published in 1914 and was part of his huge body of work. Often considered the Father of Canadian Poetry he was best known for his short fiction on animals and nature. In Hoof and Claw we find 14 stories, mostly about animals and people who live and work in the back country of Canada. Being something of an armature naturalist who's training stemmed from his experiences growing up in the far north, Roberts gives you an intimate view of the creatures he wrights about. Arctic Fox, Bald Eagle, Mink, Canadian Lynx and the Great Gray Owl are just some of the "wild brethren" in his stories. A stand-out for me was the story about a young girl trying to get home to her family in the back woods and being stalked by a starving Black Bear. Another relates the adventures of a bi-plane pilot who runs afoul of some Bald Eagles defending their territories from this strange invader. The story about the problems caused by fishermen's basket filled with just-caught fish is amusing and probably stemmed from one of the authors personal experiences. Roberts writing is, well, poetic and in the flowery style prevalent at the turn of the 20th Century. He endows his animals with some human characteristics that border on anthropomorphism, but he gets his point across. Sometimes that's the only way an author can explain what's going on in the animal-character's mind during the story. Recently Robert Bakker used the same technic in his novel Raptor Red. While I had no technical or formatting problems with this "free" edition there were a few issues I didn't like for one thing there was no Table of Contents and another is the fine paintings by Paul Bransom, that graced the original hard-bound edition, are missing. I guess that's what you get when you opt for the "free" edition. does offer other editions of this book that do have a charge. With those you would probably get the TOC and maybe the illustrations as well. As I read the book I kept track of the story titles and their locations #s for future reference. I have posted the TOC in the comments. All in all this was an entertaining read and a nostalgic trip down Memory Lane.
