About the Author

James Oliver Curwood lived most of his life in Owosso, Michigan, where he was born on June 12, 1878. His first novel was "The Courage of Captain Plum" (1908) and he published one or two novels each year thereafter, until his death on August 13, 1927. Owosso residents honor his name to this day, and Curwood Castle (built in 1922) is the town's main tourist attraction. During the 1920s Curwood became one of America's best selling and most highly paid authors. This was the decade of his lasting classics "The Valley of Silent Men" (1920) and "The Flaming Forest" (1921). He and his wife Ethel were outdoors fanatics and active conservationists. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Magical wilderness adventure, October 8, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Nomads of the North: A Story of Romance and Adventure Under the Open Stars (Hardcover)

This book was the basis of the Disney film "Nikki, Wild Dog of the North" released in 1960. It's the story of a malemute puppy and a black bear cub growing up in the northern Canadian wilderness. I read this book before the movie was relased and was about twelve years old at the time. It was a magical adventure which takes you into the world of Canadian wilderness. This book, along with other Curwood adventures, is just as enjoyable as the Kjelgaard & Helmericks stories and are highly recommended for all ages.
