George Erickson returns to the far north in search of new sights
and stories to tell. Like Service and London, the giants who have
captivated millions with tales told across a flickering campfire,
he invites new readers to climb into the Tundra Cub II and fly off
to a land where the northern lights shimmer, the rivers run cold,
and cares slowly wither and die. We will camp on a fog-bound Hudson
Bay island, alert for polar bears.Moving inland, we will follow
musk oxen, stroll through caribou herds that cover the earth like
living carpets and laugh at arctic hares that run on their hind
legs like men. Near the Arctic Circle, we will enter a land where
the sun, like a moody teenager, refuses to go to bed, then six
months later declines to rise. As we wander from campsite to
campsite like a bee from blossom to blossom, we will dust off
treasured memories that reach back forty years. "Back to the
Barrens" provides a fascinating tour of the North, of aeronautics,
science, mythology and history in an entertaining, readable book
written with humor by a man with the capacity to dream, and the
ability to make his dream come true.
