The absolutely inspiring true tale of a young couple who gave up the "good life" in England to start a new life in the wilderness of the Yukon Dorian Amos—a painter from Cornwall—and his wife decided that they were in need of adventure, so they gave up their comfortable life and traveled to Yukon Territory in the remote Canadian wilderness. Told by Dorian with warmth and humor, this is the compelling account of their adventures. Buying a piece of land in the forest just outside Dawson City, they revel in the stark beauty of the landscape and the liberation they feel from the mundanity of their former home—crossing frozen rivers just to buy food, hunting caribou, coming face to face with bears, and building their own log cabin. The perfect tale for anyone feeling that there must be more to life, their story will convince readers to stop putting their dreams on hold.

Easy read and of great interest having just returned from 485 miles on the Yukon River. Author hit the attitude and ways of people living in the Yukon as it is. Very funny tales of their gradually gaining experience in the wilds.
What a ride this book is! I read it in two days flat which is a record for me. I use to live in Whitehorse, Yukon and reading this book brought back those happy days and the excitement of living in the north. I fully recomend this book to anyone who just wants a fun read and dream of adventure
This is a wonderfully warm, funny and honest account of the trials and tribulations experienced by a young English couple relocating to the fascinating wilderness of the Yukon. In spite of the sometimes unrelenting harshness of the climate and the obvious culture shock, this couple showed courage, endurance and an unswerving belief in their dream to live in the Yukon, and I love the way the author manages to retain his sense of humour even under the most difficult circumstances!This book has inspired me to learn all that I can about the Yukon and hope one day that I can make my dream a reality and move up there. Beautiful book - highly recommended.
Honest & inspiring read. Shows what can be achieved when you go for your dreams. Also made me laugh!! Worth reading.
