The Heart of the Ancient Wood Produced by Marcia Brooks, Stephen Hutcheson, and the online Distributed Proofreaders Canada team at http://www.pgdpcanada.net "The Heart of the Ancient Wood" by Charles G. D. Roberts is a novel written in the early 20th century. It explores the interconnection between humans and the natural world through the experiences of its characters, particularly focusing on the solitary life of lumberman Dave Titus and his encounters in the ancient woods. The narrative is rich in descriptions of the forest’s wildlife and environment, establishing a deep sense of place. The opening of the novel introduces us to the mysterious and alive atmosphere of the ancient wood. The narrative draws attention to the stillness of the forest as it observes the lumberman Dave Titus traversing through it, unaware of the many creatures watching him from the shadows. As he walks, various forest animals, including a cock-partridge, a hare, and Kroof the bear, observe him with curiosity and caution, highlighting the subtle tension between the world of men and the wild. The chapter sets a tone of heightened awareness of nature, suggesting themes of coexistence and the mysterious dynamics of predator and prey. As Dave arrives at an old, desolate cabin, he prepares for the arrival of Kirstie Craig, another key character who represents resilience and strength, further hinting at the intertwining stories of human life and the wilderness.
