      Robert Service: A Great Canadian Poet's Romance with the North (Amazing Stories)

      By and
      Altitude introduces an unconventional Canadian with a special gift. Robert William Service lived a life of adventure. Best known for his world-famous poems such as the Shooting of Dan McGrew, he drew much of his inspiration from the great Canadian North. Despite his many adventures in Europe and around the world, the Yukon remained a strong influence on the poet until his death in 1958. This description may be from another edition of this product.

      Excellent biography

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      Never realized that the poet Robert Service was such an adventurer and rebel until I read this book. A tightly-written biography filled with interesting information about his early life in Scotland, his life in British Columbia, California and Yukon, and then later in Europe. Author does a great job of taking the reader along as Robert Service goes after his dreams and along the way, writes some of the world's greatest poetry...

The book captures well the adventuresome, wanderlust side of Robert Service, weaving in stories about his family life and his career as a poet, author and novelist. Excellent book about an incredible man who has become a Canadian icon.
