Written in 1913 by James Oliver Curwood, Isobel tells the story of a Canadian mountie who meets a woman, loses track of her, then tries to find her again. There's a lot more to it than that. True to Curwood's style, there are many action scenes and romantic moments--plus an orphaned girl, dogsledding, a gun fight and survival through cold winters. Like Jack London, Curwood has a way of making readers feel they are actually out there in the blizzard along with his characters. A truly enjoyable read.
