"A few standout poems in this collection: "The Cremation of Sam McGee", "The Spell of the Yukon", "The Last Bus to Heaven", "Contentment" and "The Wonder" (?? - not sure of the title - about the marvels of the various functions of the human body and its senses)."
"This isn't the edition I read. The one that I read has 6 of Robert Service's poems that are sure to be "the best of"s. They are excellent poems that put a picture in your head and a smile on your face. I learned about Robert Service while I was in Alaska and was not disappointed by his work. Since Alaska inspired Mr. Service it was appropriate and fun to read them while there. However, my husband has been reading the poems and he enjoys them as much as I even though he has never seen the likes of the Alaskan wild."
