Vanns40: I was introduced to Robert Service in the 1960’s by my English Professor. I’ve spent many hours reading and chuckling over his many works and many have one read at my graveside!

Jane Pinter: This book was a little more reflective of life, but a good read and few funny stories, I can share with the seniors. Robert Service is such a giggle.

_some_human: I learned about Robert Service on the first page of the first chapter of Louis L'Amour's wonderful memoir, Education of a Wandering Man. L'Amour sprinkled all sorts of references in his book for the curious, and upon my second reading this one got the best of me, so I got this book - I'm so glad I did. This is a truly wonderful book of poems. Some are rugged and have a homespun feel; some are as beautiful and full of imagery of any other great poetry I've read.
There is no pretense here, and these verses are accessible to anyone. If you've ever wanted to get into poetry but thought it was out of reach, begin here. I don't think you'll be disappointed. I also recommend L'Amour's own book of poems, Smoke From This Alter.
