'Annette, the Metis Spy: A Heroine of the N.W. Rebellion' is a romance-adventure novel by Joseph Edmund Collins. Starring the young maiden Annette, we are introduced to her through the eyes of the Metis chief, Louis Riel, who harbors romantic interest towards her. Their first encounter left them both unimpressed for though the ravishing beauty of the girl was more than the amorously-disposed stranger could resist, the soft-eyed fawn of the desert soon showed herself in the guise of a petit bete sauvage.
