The Collected Best of Robert Service , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 81min
This new audiobook features a collection of Service's very best and most beloved verses from his time living in and writing about the Klondike.A rover in his youth, Robert Service ended up settling down as a banker in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, in the early part of the century. There, he wrote and recited the crowd-favorite ballads such as "The Shooting of Dan McGrew" and "The Cremation of Sam McGee", eventually releasing a volume of his work entitled Songs of a Sourdough.He would later transfer with the bank to Dawson City, where he quickly realized his poems had become a great success. He retired from the bank and moved into a two-room cabin on Eighth Avenue, where he committed to writing full-time and produced a novel and two additional volumes of verse about life in the Klondike. He said good-bye to his little cabin in Dawson in 1912, and though he was never able to return, he kept the Yukon very dear to his heart. He continued to write about the First World War, life in Paris, and his time in the Yukon up until his death in 1958 at the age of 84. The cabin still stands in its original location in Dawson City. It is open to visitors in the summer months, where recitations of his work have occurred regularly on the front lawn since 1917.Verses included in this audiobook:"The Spell of the Yukon""The Shooting of Dan McGrew""The Cremation of Sam McGee""The Ballad of Blasphemous Bill""The Men That Don't Fit In""The Trail of 98""The Call of the Wild""The Rhyme of the Remittance Man""At Thirty-Five""The Ballad of Hard-Luck Henry""I'm Scared of It All""A Rolling Stone""The Law of the Yukon""The Song of the Mouth-Organ""The Prospector""Bill the Bomber""The Song of the Wage-Slave""Goodbye Little Cabin" ungekürzt.

Pauline , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 60min
Jen and Shirley Ann had been best friends in Palm Springs, CA for more than 31 years. Even after Shirley Ann married and divorced Jen's older brother, they remained friends. Although both owned homes in Palm Springs, Jen later purchased a home in Colorado so she could be near her ailing mother Pauline. Once Jen moved, Shirley Ann made frequent weekend trips to the new home to visit and go hiking. During one of those weekends, Pauline suddenly died and, because she was so cheap, her insurance policy didn't cover the transportation for returning her body to Palm Springs for cremation. So, guess who was charged with that grisly chore? The spooky journey would not only test their friendship, but it would be an adventure they would always remember! ungekürzt. Language: English.

Songs of a Sourdough , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 89min
Songs of a Sourdough is the first published volume of verse from the man who would become "The Bard of the Yukon", Robert W. Service. First published in 1907 (titled The Spell of the Yukon and Other Verses in the US), this first collection of poems skyrocketed its author to worldwide renown with humorous and macabre ballads such as "The Cremation of Sam McGee" and "The Shooting of Dan McGrew". This volume contains 33 verses exploring characters, landscapes, and life in the early days on Canada's last frontier. From the hardships to the humanity, and from harlots to the heart, Service's work breaks trail to a new way to look at Klondike.

Aunt Phil's Trunk Proudly Presents: The Spell of the Yukon , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 130min
This book pays tribute to one of the North Country’s most beloved poets and shares his first published collection of poems that debuted in 1907. Even though he never lived in Alaska, Robert W. Service helped put it on the map for most people with ballads like “The Shooting of Dan McGrew”, “The Cremation of Sam McGee”, and “The Call of the Wild”. Known as “The Bard of the Yukon,” Service felt a connection to the land and the people of the North and later told a newspaper that the nine years he spent in the Yukon (1904-1912) were “some of the happiest” of his life. “All the things I am and have, I owe to the north.” Service said in the late 1940s. This book also features a short biography of the Bard of the Yukon. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kurt Riemann, Laurel Downing Bill.
