The Flaming Forest
by James Oliver Curwood
The Flaming Forest is unapologetic northern Romance in the grandest tradition. In the hands of James Oliver Curwood, Canada is transformed into a land of mystery and myth, a place where the Mountie still gets his man and the French Canadian rivermen (with their scarlet headscarves) are forever singing, and where the French Canadian daughter of a river baron is too lovely for words (although Curwood sure does try), and where bad guys have names like "Black Roger Audemard". Less of an adventure than a love story / mystery, The Flaming Forest is a real page turner and all a reader could ask for, as long as they don't expect a two-fisted, pulp style adventure.
