A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

Dorian was born in Cambridge in 1967. He left home at sixteen and worked as a Gamekeeper in all parts of the UK. In 1987 he met his wife Bridget on Exmoor and they married in 1992 after he had complete a 3 year course in wildlife conservation at Sparsholt Agricultural college. It was during the long lectures associated with full time education that Dorian’s ability to draw cartoons was discovered.

In 1995 Dorian decided to capitalise on his talent and set up a cartooning business called Amosart, in Polperro, Cornwall. The business was successful and in no time at all ‘life became far too easy’ so, in 1998 and on a whim, Bridget and Dorian decided to immigrate to the Canadian wilderness for a bit of adventure. They now live with their 2-year-old son, Jack Julian and trusty dog Boris, in a cabin in the forest outside Dawson City, Yukon Territory.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

"We knew nothing about the wilderness, but in a way that was our greatest strength... We would probably fail daily and eventually have to give up, but true failing for us, would have been to not even try." Told with warmth and humour, this is the compelling account of a young couple who give up a comfortable life in England to start a new one in the wilderness of the Yukon. They revel in the stark beauty of the landscape and rise to the challenges that confront them - crossing frozen rivers, mushing huskies, hunting caribou, facing bears, avoiding wolves and building their own log cabin from the materials around them. This story will convince readers to stop putting their dreams on hold. Be prepared to be inspired...
