The Bard Of The Yukon At His Finest!,
By
This review is from: Songs of a Sourdough (New Mermaids) (Paperback)
"Songs Of A Sourdough" is Robert Service at his best!. This is nature poetry at its finest. Here the Bard Of The Yukon use picture words that place the reader right in the Yukon of old. As you read you can see the stranger stagger in to the Malamute saloon and feel the fifty below gush of air until he closes the door behind him. You will hear him play the piano and see the ghastly look of the Lady that's known as Lou. You too will jump for the floor when the shooting of Dangerous Dan McGrew starts. You too will hear the Call of The Yukon and understand its Law while you come to appreciate The Younger Son.I bought my first copy of "Songs Of A Sourdough" during my Canadian honeymoon in 1980. From experience I can give you one bit of advice. Do not, I repeat, do not ever pick up this book unless you want to be hooked on Robert Service and his songs forever.

1.0 out of 5 stars
DEFINITELY not recommended,
By Grammy Thelma "luvspuns" (Burton, TX USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I am livid that you can call this piece of garbage a "book", even though it's printed material between two covers. Full of spelling errors, typos, and not even in a poetry format,it must have poor Robert Service spinning in his grave. I was expecting a lovely little book of poetry to gift a friend....I find my much-thumbed, dog eared copy from the 1920's to be in pristine condition in comparison. And for this, you charge almost ten dollars? By the way, the disclaimer inside the cover page was duly noted--still unacceptable.

The Spell of the Yukon,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Songs of a Sourdough (Kindle Edition)
One terrific poem in this book makes the whole thing worthwhile - "The Spell of the Yukon". I can't get enough of it. I don't think I will ever tire of reading it again and again.
