James Oliver Curwood

My wife loves to read this author because of the place settings,the adventure and the lack of "dirt" that is so common in books today.She has read all of his books and is looking for another author that writes the same type of book in the same manner,any of you guys know what she can look for?

Curwood seems to have a following all his own, but he was writing at a time that gave us both Jack London and H. Rider Haggard as well. Maybe they would be worth a look. Zane Grey, too. Good luck.

Arthur Upfield's old "Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte" series, set in Australia, is good stuff. A lot of Neville Shute and Nicholas Monsarrat. Anything by C.S. Forester.

For clean, adventurous, wickedly satirical novels, you can't beat Terry Pratchett. Set on a mythical planet called Discworld, it's not science fiction but fantasy that sends up everything from Shakespeare to rock 'n' roll.
