Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Robert Service’s particular sense of the wild makes him stand out as a true North American poet. His fanciful tales of the rough-and-tumble Yukon have made him one of the most popular and frequently recited poets in the English-speaking world. Service’s poems are perfect for sharing with children and friends, reading alone, or best of all, reciting around the campfire.

Dan McGrew, Sam McGee, and Other Great Service includes over fifty of Robert Service’s best-loved poems, while Mark Summers’ illustrations perfectly capture their mood.

5.0 out of 5 stars WONDERFUL STUFF HERE - STILL, January 12, 2005
This is a wonderful collection of the works of Robert Service. The poetry here is the kind that you loved as a kid. Then you grew up and became ultra-sophisticated and you were able to roll your wisdom filled eyes and look down your well educated nose at such work. Fortunately, you soon grow out of this phase of your life (sooner if you are lucky, most get over themselves around the age of 25 or so) and you happen to pick this delightful work up again. Yes, folks, it is still as good as when you were a kid! Actually, I love reading it to my preteen and teen age grandsons. They still appreciate it, and will again after they go through their little bit of growing up. I highly recommend this one for anyone who love reading or loves poetry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fine poetry by an adventurer., October 31, 2002
By D. R. Schryer (Poquoson, VA United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
When I studied poetry in school I didn't particularly like most of what we were assigned to read. And then I read Robert Service's poem The Shooting of Dan McGrew and discovered that I liked it. Next I read The Cremation of Sam McGee and decided that poetry could actually be fun. Eventually I read other poems by Robert Service and discovered that, although most were more serious than Dan McGrew and Sam McGee, they still appealed to me. In fact, thanks in large part to Service, I have now developed a taste for other poetry as well. Robert Service was an adventurer as well as a poet and his adventurer's perspective makes his poems particular appealing. If you're a fan of Robert Service this is a good collection of his work. If you haven't read him yet this is a good place to start. And if you think that you don't like poetry, maybe Service will help convert you as he did me.
