Roberts (1860-1943) grew up near Sackville, New Brunswick and studied at the University of New Brunswick. He began publishing his writing at age 20 with a collection of poems "Orion and Other Poems" (1880) and in 1883 became editor of the Toronto periodical the Week. He taught English literature at King's College, Halifax, Nova Scotia from 1885 to 1895. Following the publication of his first collection of highly popular animal stories, "Earth's Enigmas" (1896), Roberts supported himself through writing prose.
Roberts lived in England from 1907 to 1925. During World War I, he was a private in the British forces and later worked in the Canadian War Records Office. He returned to Canada in 1925 and spent the rest of his life in Toronto. Roberts was elected to the Royal Society of Canada in 1890, was awarded the Lorne Pierce Medal for distinguished service to Canadian literature in 1926, and was knighted in 1935.Additional information:Note on the state of conservation:Items in Box 3a require conservation.Related material:Elizabeth Roberts MacDonald fonds LMS-0137 [1987-05].Container note(s):1 : 1986-02
