A sequel ‘The Wolf Hunters’, ‘The Gold Hunters’ re-joins Wabigoon and Mukoki as they chase down their friend Roderick, who is on his way home following their previous adventures. Roderick hasn’t got very far, however, when his companions catch up with him and the reason for their desperate chase becomes clear - Wabigoon’s sister Minnetaki has been kidnapped, and they need all the help they can get to find her. A desperate rescue mission ensues, involving secret maps, gold mines and romance. ‘The Gold Hunters’ is a classic adventure story from the much-loved author James Oliver Curwood. James Oliver Curwood (1878-1927) was an American author and conservationist. Predominantly, a writer of adventure stories, his imaginative tales were the source of much inspiration for Hollywood and over 150 movies have been produced based on his works. Born in Michigan, Curwood began his writing career as a reporter before being hired by the Canadian government to write travel accounts to promote tourism to the area. His Canadian travels provided the setting for many of his adventure stories, and he often used animals as the main characters in his tales. One of the highest paid authors in the world at the time of his death, some of Curwood’s best-loved novels include ‘The River’s End’, ‘The Wolf Hunters’ and ‘The Danger Trail’.
