  <description><![CDATA[In 1904, the Canadian Bank of Commerce transferred teller Robert W. Service to the Yukon Territory. Soon, he was famous as the poet who chronicled the Klondike gold rush and the savage beauty of the frozen north. His verse tales of hard-bitten prospectors and sourdoughs make vivid, exciting reading, with such colorful characters as One-Eyed Mike, Dangerous Dan McGrew, Pious Pete, Blasphemous Bill-and, of course, the lady known as Lou. This book features 49 of Service's poems, along with stunning duotone photos of people and landscapes of the Yukon. Our previous title, <em>Robert W. Service: Best Tales of the Yukon</em>, has sold more than 110,000 copies!]]></description>

    <![CDATA[In 1904, the Canadian Bank of Commerce transferred teller Robert W. Service to the Yukon Territory. Soon, he was famous as the poet who chronicled the Klondike gold rush and the savage beauty of the frozen north. His verse tales of hard-bitten prospectors and sourdoughs make vivid, exciting reading, with such colorful characters as One-Eyed Mike, Dangerous Dan McGrew, Pious Pete, Blasphemous Bill-and, of course, the lady known as Lou. This book features 49 of Service's poems, along with stunning duotone photos of people and landscapes of the Yukon. Our previous title, <em>Robert W. Service: Best Tales of the Yukon</em>, has sold more than 110,000 copies!]]>

    <body><![CDATA[My husband had to memorize several of Robert Service's poems in school and I've always loved hearing him recite them.  It was even better reading a broad variety.  An amazing set of poems that portray the harshness of life in the Yukon with humor and sometimes other emotions.  Very heady stuff.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I fell in love with Service's ability to weave a compelling story in verse when I was 8 and heard &quot;The Cremation of Sam McGee&quot; for the first time.  Other especially great poems are &quot;The Shooting of Dan McGrew,&quot; &quot;My Madonna,&quot; and &quot;Duello.&quot;]]></body>

    <![CDATA[In 1904, the Canadian Bank of Commerce transferred teller Robert W. Service to the Yukon Territory. Soon, he was famous as the poet who chronicled the Klondike gold rush and the savage beauty of the frozen north. His verse tales of hard-bitten prospectors and sourdoughs make vivid, exciting reading, with such colorful characters as One-Eyed Mike, Dangerous Dan McGrew, Pious Pete, Blasphemous Bill-and, of course, the lady known as Lou. This book features 49 of Service's poems, along with stunning duotone photos of people and landscapes of the Yukon. Our previous title, <em>Robert W. Service: Best Tales of the Yukon</em>, has sold more than 110,000 copies!]]>
