James Oliver Curwood, (1878-1927), was an American novelist and conservationist. . In 1988 French director Jean-Jacques Annaud used his 1916 novel, "The Grizzly King" to make the film The Bear. Annaud's success generated a renewed interest in Curwood's stories that resulted in five more films being produced in 1994 and 1995.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Disturbing and thought provoking and beautifully descriptive,
By Sparse Grey Hackle (Boulder, Utah) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Grizzly King (Kindle Edition)
Sure its romantic pap, but it is very well written pap, and it is without question the most beautifully descriptive book on bears I ever read.The author's love of the high country and it's wildlife is obvious in every page. The Disney anti-hunting, anti-American movie " The Bear" was based on this short book, a novella really, and the movie fell far short of the book. This book is right up there with the original "Bambi" and "Where the Red Fern Grows" in capturing the feel of nature and the animals found in it.
