As Baree grows older, he has encounters with a near sighted owl, befriends a bear, and tries to make friends with a colony of beavers. Then Baree comes up against his most perplexing animal...Man! Baree quickly desires the companionship that Willow(a beautiful young woman) offers. He follows her everywhere and has a strong bond with her that cannot be broken.

The wilderness is described beautifully and also becomes a "character" of the story as well.

Biographie de l'auteur :

James Oliver Curwood, (1878-1927), was an American novelist and conservationist. A great number of his works were turned into movies, several of which starred Nell Shipman as a brave and adventurous woman in the wilds of the north. Many films from Curwood's writings were made during his lifetime, as well as after his passing through to the 1950s. In 1988 French director Jean-Jacques Annaud used his 1916 novel, The Grizzly King to make the film The Bear. Annaud's success generated a renewed interest in Curwood's stories that resulted in five more films being produced in 1994 and 1995.
