There are strange things done in the midnight sun / By the men who moil for gold; / The Arctic trails have their secret tales / That would make your blood run cold; / The Northern Lights have seen queer sights, / But the queerest they ever did see / Was that night on the marge of Lake Lebarge / I cremated Sam McGee.

And so begins the most beloved, classic, chilling, haunting, colorful, romantic winter's-tale, children's book that was ever written. Since childhood this book has been, and remains, powerful fuel for the imagination and it's stories like this that keep us going here at Best Made. Robert Service was one of the great American wilderness visionaries and we are proud to offer this stunning 20th anniversary edition illustrated by Canadian artist Ted Harrison (proud owner of a Best Made axe!).
