Winter Adventures of Three Boys in the Great Lone Land

Three British boys arrive in the vast, frozen wilderness of Northern Canada, and everything they thought they knew about winter is about to change. Frank, Alec, and Sam have left behind the foggy streets of Great Britain for the Great Lone Land, where snow falls in impossible quantities and the cold bites with teeth they've never felt before. Under the guidance of Mr. Ross, a retired Hudson Bay Company official who knows these lands intimately, the boys trade their school uniforms for fur coats and moccasins. They await the arrival of their sled dogs with breathless excitement, dreaming of racing across frozen lakes and through silent white forests. The first snowstorm transforms their world, and what was once unfamiliar becomes magical. This is a story about the pure, undiluted wonder of childhood encountering nature at its most spectacular and terrifying, and finding it full of joy rather than danger. It endures because it captures that rare moment when the world still seems capable of being made new by snow.
