"He was the first to establish a literary movment and remained at its head for two generations, the first sustained writer of regional fiction in his Acadian novels, the first to create the animal story, as well as the pre-history narrative. He was among the first Canadians to edit standard authors for Canadian schools, to write critical essays and prefaces on Canadian authors, and win an acknowledged place for himself and his country in the U.S., the U.K and on the Continent. He was the first writer of whom one instantly thought when thinking at all about Canada, since he had touched it everywhere and adorned it everywhere." - from Introduction.
