About this ebook
Thor is a huge grizzly bear who lives in the Canadian Rockies. He is being hunted by Jim Langdon and his companions through forests and mountains of Canadian wilderness. During his run Thor comes across Muskwa, a motherless bear cub, and takes it under his wing. Together they make a good team, managing to hunt and feed, while being on constant run, but Jim Langdon and hunters are always close. James Oliver Curwood (1878-1927) was an American action-adventure writer and conservationist. His adventure writing followed in the tradition of Jack London. Like London, Curwood set many of his works in the wilds of the Great White North. He often took trips to the Canadian northwest which provided the inspiration for his wilderness adventure stories. At least eighteen movies have been based on or inspired by Curwood's novels and short stories.

This short book (less than 100pages) holds the reader throughout its journey, ultimately the story is about transformation; yet it contains humour, sadness, and an overwhelming sense of wonder. What you thought you knew about bears from all those grisly movies is nothing like the truth

Very well written by an author that knows the facts of wildlife-the intelligence of animals, and the right they have to live their life as nature made it.
