Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
"Jack London is at his best - that peculiar best which is inimitable... Nothing is more important to note, however, than the soundness of the psychology of all these stories. They are made out of the deep fibre of humanity. By command over such material does Jack London hold his place in our literature. By command over the knack of clearly flowing, acid-biting English that often takes rich color." - Boston Transcript

edition.
From the Back Cover
He was one of the most prolific American writers of the early 20th century, and remains one of the most beloved, but while his novels have remained continuously in print for a century, his short stories have been much harder to find.
Here, in one volume first published in 1911, are a marvelous selection of Jack London's short fiction, including:
When God Laughs * The Apostate * A Wicked Woman * "Just Meat" Created He Them * The Chinago * Make Westing * Semper Idem * A Nose for the King The "Francis Spaight" * A Curious Fragment * A Piece of Steak
These outstanding stories--of the sea, of the land, of the ordinary people who work them--are examples of London at this passionate best. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
