The Good Life: Up the Yukon without a Paddle
Dorian Amos, edited by Dan Hiscocks, illustrated by Dorian Amos


The Good Life tells the incredible story of two ordinary people who wanted more from life. They exchanged a comfortable life in Cornwall for the ravishes of the Canadian wilderness. 

This was not to be just a case of selling one house and buying another; everything experienced was raw – canoeing up swelling rivers, mushing huskies, hunting caribou, crossing frozen waters just to buy food, facing bears and avoiding wolves. And from the materials surrounding them, building their new home.
