The Spell of the Yukon and Other Verses

by Robert W. Service from 1907

About

Service's debut (1907) includes 'The Shooting of Dan McGrew' and 'The Cremation of Sam McGee' — among the most widely recited narrative ballads in English, combining the adventure of the Klondike Gold Rush with the ballad's propulsive drive. Service was called 'the Kipling of the Yukon,' and the comparison is apt: he wrote for popular audiences who wanted excitement, character, and a good story in verse. His poems are designed to be performed aloud with dramatic energy.
