The Spell of the Yukon (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169212824)

""The Spell of the Yukon"" is a collection of poems by Robert W. Service, originally published in 1907. The poems explore the rugged and wild landscape of the Yukon territory in Canada, as well as the people who lived and worked in the region during the gold rush of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Service's writing is characterized by its vivid imagery, humor, and a deep appreciation for the natural world. The collection includes some of Service's most famous poems, such as ""The Cremation of Sam McGee"" and ""The Shooting of Dan McGrew."" ""The Spell of the Yukon"" is considered a classic of Canadian literature and a testament to the enduring allure of the North.One said: Thy life is thine to make or mar, To flicker feebly, or to soar, a star; It lies with thee -- the choice is thine, is thine, To hit the ties or drive thy auto-car.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
