| Incident At Hawk's Hill is Allan W. Eckert's story of a little six-year old boy lost in the Canadian prairie. The young boy named Benjamin is a lover of nature and animals, but runs away from his father and his home. As the weather grows threatening he crawls into the hole of a female badger he had previously befriended. Over the period of several months he becomes a part of the badger's family, first as a surrogate baby badger being fed and cared for in the den by the female to eventually hunting and foraging with her out in the open.
Finally, Benjamin's family finds the boy and the badger after an exhausting search for him. Benjamin had grown afraid of humans and did his best to stay hidden upon their approach until his brother eventually located him. | ||
