So little is known of him that he has scarcely found his way in his haunts in the Colorado Rockies. Here he tells the vivid story of his deeds, weaving into a thrilling tale what happens when Carcajou, the unconquerable, "tangles" with a strong young Indian trapper and his pet grizzly named Mister Jim.

Best book I've read in over 40 years

I first read this book in Junior High school in Minnesota. I really enjoyed the story and found myself cheering for the Wolverine who was the main character. The title "carcajou" is the Indian word for the wolverine meaning "Devil". This clever and most powerful animal on the planet (based on his size) captivated my mind completely.

For the last forty plus years since reading this outstanding book the wolverine has been my "animal of choice". I checked the book out at the school library several times while I was there.

For the past few years I have tried to purchase this outstanding book on-line for my kids to read but was disapointed to discover that it is no longer in print. Now (tonight) I found out that there is going to be another printing that will be out in December of 2000. I can hardly wait to see my children reading this book.

If you can remember Disney before cable TV and the wonderful shows they had that followed an animal from birth throughout it's life, then you have an inkling of how this book is written. I recommend this book for any child over the age of ten. Parents will love to read this book to their children - I can envision several nights of complete attention from kids as their parents unfold this charming story at bedtime.

Excellent story

I read this book repeatedly since my 4th grade. I learned much from the carcajou: although he looked clumsy he had a great stamina in walking and he was afraid of noone. Later on I also paid more attention to other characters in the story: two Native American trappers, two white traders and of course many other animals who all consider carcajou the boss.
This book is easy to read and you will read it at once, but will return repeatedly. This is not a fable, animals act like real animals and people act like real people. But you will see that nature, as it is, has many tricks in its sleeve.
