I love this book I love this book. It is such a good story about a wonderful life that only most dream of having. Very good read.. "A Story to Inspire All Interested in Wild Places and Beyond" according to Steven Chase. A great deal of thanks should go to Bonnie Kreps and Charlie Craighead for there many years of work dedicated to the life of Mardy Murie. Their double-barreled presentation, first the wonderful film "Arctic Dance, The Mardy Murie Story", and now this fantastic book, tell the story of Margaret "Mardy" Murie like nobody else could.More like a scrapbook, Arctic Dance brings readers on a journey as rich as . Excellent documentary and engaging about the Murie's This is a great video to watch. It has many historical facts about the Murie's and is a romance as well. It is very romanticized about how cold and tough these people had to have been. I love the Murie home outside of Jackson, Wyoming, and loved, loved this video.
