Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made

The final volume of four great books of the adventures of the
Mounted Police
In Curwood, the famous 'Mounties' had possibly their first and most
enthusiastic champion and author of their adventures of fiction and
legend. The image of the lone policeman out in the Canadian
wilderness enduring every force nature could hurl against him and
yet still resolutely and infallibly 'getting his man' was never
more powerful than in the pages of Curwood's stories. His
inspiration came from a time before 'The Royal Canadian Mounted
Police', when the force was titled, 'The North West Mounted Police'
and of course this meant the adventures are set in an earlier
era-the Canada of the 19th century-where the untamed land was
sparsely populated with untamed men and the tribes of indigenous
Indians that might yet be hostile. These men were policemen,
trappers, trackers, rangers, part lawman, part soldier-often
imagined in their distinctive scarlet uniform-in fact the very
stuff which has evoked true adventure in the minds of those aged
from 8 to 80 In this final volume of the special Leonaur four
volume collection of Curwood's stories of the Mounties, readers
will discover the full length novel, 'The Flaming Forest'
accompanied by five shorter pieces of the police in action-'The
Fiddling Man, ' 'The Match, ' 'The Yellow-Back, ' 'The Case of
Beauvais' and 'The Mouse.'
