Panning for gold
What happens when a couple leave their normal British life to pan for gold in the Yukon?
When Dorian gets 'gold fever', he and his wife up sticks from their idyllic Cornish life and settle in the harsh Canadian wilderness. Here, they battle freezing temperatures, a hostile environment and wild animals in the quest for gold.
The Good Life Gets Better is the continuing tale of the Amos family and their adventures in the Klondike Valley. It is a remarkable story of foolhardy courage, passion for discovery and the wonderful spirit that lies at the heart of every family.

Schweitzer Klassifikation
Dorian was born in Cambridge in 1967. He left home at sixteen and worked as a gamekeeper all over the UK. In 1987 he met his wife Bridget on Exmoor, and they married in 1992. By that time he had completed a three-year course in wildlife conservation at agricultural college and had also - during long lectures - discovered a talent for drawing cartoons.
In 1995 he set up a cartooning business called Amosart, in Polperro, Cornwall. Although the business was successful, life still felt too easy. In 1998, Bridget and Dorian left Cornwall for the Canadian wilderness in search of adventure. They now live in a cabin in the forest outside Dawson City, Yukon Territory.
