This book, a collection of readings from Robert Service's iconic poem "The Spell of the Yukon," was recorded live at the 2010 Ottawa Folk Festival. It captures the spirit of the event with its enthusiastic audience and the powerful words of Service, who paints a vivid picture of the rugged beauty and challenges of life in the Yukon during the gold rush era. The recording showcases the poem's themes of adventure, hardship, and the allure of the untamed wilderness. While the recording was incomplete due to unforeseen circumstances, the available sections provide a compelling experience for listeners interested in Canadian literature, poetry, and the history of the Yukon.
