James Oliver Curwood, paid by the Canadian government to roam the far north and later a convert who gave up hunting altogether, wrote this tender wilderness tale out of love for the country and its creatures. Neewa the bear cub and Miki the pup, orphaned in the same week, take up together in the great northern forest - while a man and a woman flee the Mounted Police across the very same wild. This edition presents Curwood's complete and unabridged novel, newly typeset and illustrated with 34 full-page color plates.
