[G]orgeously illustrated ? [A] wonderful new edition ... Harrison s pictures are startling and memorable"
There are strange things done in the midnight sun By the men who moil for books; The Arctic trails have their secret tales that could give you second looks, The Northern Lights have seen their sights But the wisest they ever did see Was the day in 06, complete with great pix They reissued Sam McGee."
No poem that I can think of, especially a comic one, was ever rendered so electrifyingly in paint--Book World

Synopsis
Originally a bank teller, Robert Services' life changed when he found himself transferred to Whitehorse in the Yukon Territory. Like everybody else, Service was smitten by the gold rush. Only Service mined words, not gold, and within five years was famous as the poet who had captured the essence of the fever, the adventure, the men, and the women. The magic of the words is beautifully captured by award winning Nariken Van Nimwegen.
