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.

Ballads of a Cheechako is the sophomore volume of Yukon inspired verse from Scottish/Canadian poet Robert W. Service. Published in 1909, it was an immediate success and catapulted Robert W. Service to a household name around North America. This volume contains 22 verses exploring interesting characters and life in the early days of Canada's last frontier. From the man who staked the northern lights, to the Mounted Police, to hard-luck prospectors, and beyond, this book contains much of the framework for the collective vision we all share when we hear the word Klondike.

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”.

Rhymes of a Rolling Stone is the final installment in Service's trilogy of Yukon verse. Conceived while returning to the Yukon via the daunting Edmonton Trail, and completed in his little cabin in Dawson City, this volume contains 50 new poems of life, love, and hardship in the North.
