JACK LONDON! Acknowledged the world over as the most popular and most read of America’s authors.
Timeless tales of the sea, of life in the Yukon, of life in the far reaches of unexplored lands and even of life in prehistoric times, all to be found in this wide-rang- ing compendium of the works of London.
They are reproduced, in most cases, from the actual turn-of-the-century magazine pages in which they first appeared (along with the original illustrations).
The modern-day reader will experience the same sense of excitement and fascination that his forefathers did in reading these dramatic tales of life and adventure.
Jack London is an American original!
