About the author

Born in Owosso, Michigan, on June 12, 1878, James Oliver Curwood became a journalist before turning to fiction. He built a huge readership with adventure novels and short stories set in the forests, rivers, and snowy landscapes of Canada, where survival, loyalty, and the natural world are always close at hand.

His books, including popular wilderness tales such as Kazan, Baree, Son of Kazan, and The Grizzly King, helped make him an international bestseller. Curwood’s work was adapted for the screen many times, and his success allowed him to build the small castle-like studio and home in Owosso that is still associated with his name.

Later in life, he became increasingly outspoken about protecting animals and wild places. That conservationist streak gives his fiction an added warmth: even in its action-heavy moments, there is often a real sympathy for the creatures and landscapes at the center of the story. He died in 1927.
