Sam Campbell (1895-1962) has been called the finest ever in writing about nature, forest, and wildlife. During the late 1940's and early 1950's, Sam, the genial "philosopher of the forest," visited many campuses to speak on conservation and narrate his often hilarious movies of north woods animal life. Hundreds of schools and audiences across the country demanded his return year after year. He was known to more families and young people than any other author-lecturer.

Sam is gone now, but his books still speak to us of life in the forest. They have recently been reprinted with beautiful new covers. So if you dream of backpacking and canoeing trips and long to see panthers, moose, beaver, and river otters in the wild, come spend some time with Sam and Giny and fall in love with their delightful forest friends.

	Volume One: How's Inky? (A Porcupine and His Pals Offer Some Highlights on Happiness) 135 pp. Join Sam and Giny Campbell as they raise Inky, the porcupine; Bobette the orphaned fawn, Sausage, a fat baby ground hog, and Rack and Ruin, appropriately named baby raccoons. "Inky the porcupine--I hardly know whether to bless him or curse him!" the author writes. "Whichever I do, he won’t care a flick of his tail! He is so exasperatingly self-sufficient, so wholly complacent, he will just waddle away, climb a tree, and look down at me, saying in his most gracious grunts: 'You take things too seriously, Sammy, old boy. Relax! Come on up and eat some bark!'" Join Sam and his peculiar pet for a grand mixture of troubles and pleasures. You’ll discover why it takes a lot of quill power to put down How's Inky.
	Volume Two: Too Much Salt and Pepper (Two Porcupines with Prickly Spines Who Make You Laugh and Think) 258 pp. When these three-week old baby porcupines were orphaned, the rangers offered them to Sam and Giny Campbell. They had no idea what they were in for! Life at the Campbell’s summer cabin is peaceful and tranquil--well, some of the time. Enter two rambunctious porcupines named Salt and Pepper. Share the joys, adventures and hilarious mischief these little pincushions and other forest friends create at the author's island home. Too Much Salt and Pepper will prick your heart as you see the warm wisdom of nature Mr. Campbell reveals in every chapter.
	Volume Three: Eeny, Meeny, Miney, Mo--and Still-Mo (Lessons in Living from Five Frisky Red Squirrels) 237 pp. Bill, the neighbor boy, handed Sam a small brown basket. Inside were four tiny baby squirrels, not more than three weeks old. As they grow, their antics will keep you entertained for hours. Red squirrels are by nature inquisitive and rambunctious, reason enough to think twice before adopting one--not to mention five! But that is just what happens to Sam and Giny Campbell at their wilderness island home. Eeny, Meeny, Miney, Mo...and Still-Mo will win your heart with their irresistible antics and crazy capers. All have their own personalities, and you'll have a wonderful time discovering the insights each one has for you. Now sit back in your chair, grab a bag of peanuts, and join the Campbells as they go a little nuts raising these forest friends.
	Volume Four: A Tippy Canoe and Canada Too (An Adventure in Animal Antics and Wilderness Wisdom) 250 pp. Sam and Giny Campbell, and Buddy the canoe, take a canoe trip to find Sanctuary Lake. Along the way they meet new forest friends--and find some old ones, too. Somewhere east of sunset and west of dawn is Sanctuary Lake, a wilderness home Sam and Giny Campbell seek in their old but faithful birch canoe, "Buddie." Dip your paddle into the cool waters of imagination and journey into the far-flung world of the fur trading voyageur. A Tippy Canoe and Canada Too will delight you with the wildlife friendships and revelations of the north woods land of distant shores where there are no roads, no towns, no manmade intrusions--a land where peace lives on.
	Volume Five: On Wings of Cheer (A Red-winged Blackbird Shares His Happy Heart) 236 pp. One day this amazing blackbird appeared at Sam and Giny's feeding station, and made himself perfectly at home. Then the fun began! On Wings of Cheer takes the reader again to the sanctuary in the north woods of Wisconsin. As the story opens, the country is under the enchantment of fall haze and dazzlingly brilliant foliage. It's unseasonably warm and the purple finches, robins, and sparrows are singing like it's spring instead of fall. Here we catch our first glimpse of clever Cheer, the remarkable friendly red-winged blackbird, who has delayed his migratory flight to enjoy Sanctuary hospitality. Follow the Campbells' many exciting adventures through a full year, from the excitement of Old Charley (a five hundred pound too friendly bear), to a grand Christmas in the woods and trouble crossing broken ice the following spring.
	Volume Six: Moose Country (A Boy Naturalist in an Ancient Forest) 235 pp. Hi-Bub accompanies Sam and Giny on their trip to Sanctuary Lake and gets to meet Ancient, an authentic French-Canadian voyageur. The mysterious wilderness has always held an attraction for boys and girls of all ages, and what a wilderness is to be found in Sam Campbell's Moose Country! Hi-Bub, a young, inquisitive boy, joins the Campbells for a journey to Sanctuary Lake in Canada's North Country, where a wonderful world of animals and adventure awaits. The author's talent for descriptive writing makes every page blossom with the sights, sounds, and scents of God's marvelous creation. Take this wilderness walk and discover with Hi-Bub the intrigue of animal (and sometimes human) behavior.
	Volume Seven: The Seven Secrets of Somewhere Lake (Animal Ways That Inspire and Amaze) 236 pp. "No more baby animals," Sam decreed. But that was before he met Zipper, the motherless fawn, Zowie, the orphaned fox, and Zanie, the abandoned cocker spaniel puppy. Sam and Giny have no more than just said, "No baby animals this year" than fate dooms it. The Campbells have no choice but to "adopt" in rapid succession: Zipper, a half starved fawn, Zowie, a baby fox, Zanie, a taffy-colored puppy, and Zinnia, a tiny skunk! Enjoy the adventures with Sam as the family continues to grow when seven young beavers are literally dumped into his lap, and then later Sam's "buck fever" experience when at last he finds the mountain lion.
	Volume Eight: Loony Coon (Antics of a Frolicking Racoon) 236 pp. Before his baby eyes were even open, Loony Coon got into trouble. The antics of one of Andrea's babies will keep kids and adults fascinated for hours. Raccoons are notorious for their mischief and "streetwise" animal antics, but seldom has there been a raccoon that could match the career of Loony Coon. Life for the otters, geese, deer, skunks, and porcupines of the Campbell's wilderness home was always unpredictable when this bundle of energy was in town. So join in the fun, spills, and porcupine quills--the misadventures of Loony Coon--told in the wonderful Sam Campbell style.
	Volume Nine: Fiddlesticks and Freckles (The Forest Frolics of Two Funny Fawns) 244 pp. One day Sam and Giny met Bobette again-along with her twin fawns, who they named Fiddlesticks and Freckles. But that was before the awful gunshot echoed in the darkness. Fiddlesticks and Freckles carries you away into the Wisconsin wilderness where the Campbell family adopts two orphan fawns. You will meet a host of forest friends in an exciting array of adventures--some hilarious, others sad. Throughout, the author shares those secret lessons revealed though God’s natural world.
	Volume Ten: Beloved Rascals (Nature’s Knaves Are Nicer Than You Think) 244 pp. When Midnight's feathers are destroyed by a forest fire, Giny and Sam adopt this delightful crow. He is soon joined by Schnickelfritz and Andrea and her babies. Few people can flush out the personalities of wild animals as well as Sam Campbell. In Beloved Rascals the author reveals a knack for making you gasp at the ornery ways of the more cantankerous members of his wilderness neighborhood. At the same time you will be touched with the same infectious love Sam has for all these forest friends. There's Midnight, the belligerent old crow, Carcajou, the wolverine, Cominsky, the raccoon, and many other plays in Sanctuary Lake's wildlife theater.
	Volume Eleven: Sweet Sue’s Adventures (Even Skunks Can Teach Life Lessons) 119 pp. Sam Campbell takes kids on six different hikes, all exploring the antics of Sweet Sue, a delightful little skunk who lives in Skunk Castle.

Come with Sam once again as he hikes and finds more wildlife adventure!
