"Around the Camp-fire" by Charles G. D. Roberts is a captivating series of late 19th-century adventure stories, following a band of canoeists as they flee the summer heat for the wilds of New Brunswick, fostering themes of camaraderie and daring escapades.

Their evenings are filled with storytelling, such as Stranion's chilling childhood encounter with a panther near a parsonage, blending suspense, humor, and the allure of nature. As the canoeists settle each night, they create a tradition of sharing past wilderness experiences and weaving narratives that resonate throughout their journey.
