On the Neva near Saint Petersburg stands the Palace Grodonoff, its coat of arms a bear with a knife in its breast and live bears in its courtyard. The baron sends his sons out under sealed orders to hunt bears across the globe, from the Scandinavian forests to the tropics of the Americas, meeting jaguars and peccaries along the way.
A boys’ adventure crammed with natural history in Reid’s best manner, ideal for young readers who like their hunting yarns global. Download the free EPUB.
