The Protector by Harold Bindloss audiobook.

Genre: adventure

Harold Bindloss, while born in England, based most of his novels in western Canada, and The Protector is based primarily in and around Vancouver and Victoria.

There is often danger involved in the mining and timber industries north of Vancouver, and there is also danger in the trust given to people who own and operate these mines and timber lands. And finding one's way in locating them can be equally as difficult as well. Wallace Vane and his trusted friend Carroll seemed to encounter these dangers in a seemingly endless journey both for business purposes and for adventure in their search for adequate timber land which they had inadvertently heard of.

What is the driving force behind Wallace Vane? Did he regret leaving his home country and the people he knew when he left England, therefore had something to prove, but didn't even realize it himself? Was it simply a secret joy that he received whenever he observed the beauty of his adopted country with its mountains, forests, and crystal clear water? Perhaps it was his reasonable success in the lumber industry? Or was it something deeper within him? Something, perhaps, that he didn't even recognize himself?

Northwest! by Harold Bindloss audiobook.

Genre: adventure

Jimmy Leyland is a young Englishman with expensive habits and too much confidence in his luck, until one uneasy day in western Canada turns his life inside out. After a reckless hunting trip leaves him unsure whether he has shot a man from the Northwest Mounted Police, Jimmy realizes that uncertainty can be as dangerous as guilt. With officials searching for answers and friends offering conflicting advice, he runs for the one place that might hide him and test him at the same time: the hard, beautiful country of Alberta and British Columbia. Guided and challenged by seasoned men like Stannard and the ever-watchful Deering, and thrown off balance by the steady presence of Margaret Jardine, Jimmy is forced to trade clubroom bravado for grit, judgment, and restraint. The farther he pushes into the back country, the more the wilderness strips away his old assumptions about class, courage, and what it means to be honorable. Part chase story, part survival tale, Northwest! follows a spoiled drifter trying to become someone worth trusting before the past catches up to him.

The tale was first published in 1837 and has been adapted to various media including musical theatre and animated film. But this tale is not the Disney version, all cleaned up and made pretty. This is the way Andersen wrote it. The Little Mermaid is indeed at the happy wedding of her beloved prince, but she is not the bride. And then she becomes a big bubble. Curious? Listen and find out what happens.
