Unlike its companions The Kindred of the Wild and The Watchers of the Trails, this collection goes under the sea as well as into the forest, with stories of sawfish and killer whales alongside the creatures of the northern woods. A shrew battles a snake, insects are trapped by a pitcher-plant, and logs come down on the spring flood.
