Brown Wolf and Other Jack London Stories

Children delight in those who have had adventures, and when they are privileged to read of such exploits in thrilling story form, that is the 'seventh heaven' for them. Such a man' was Jack London, whose whole life was one of stirring action on land and sea. Gifted as a story teller, he wrote books almost without end. Some of them, 'The Call of the Wild,' 'The Sea Wolf' and 'White Fang,' have already been recognized as fine books for juveniles. Others, volumes of short stories, contain many of like interest, possessing the same qualities that have made the other and longer stories so acceptable as juveniles. Effort has been made by the editor to bring together in one volume a number of such stories, not for the reason alone that there might be another Jack London book, but also in order to add to our juvenile literature a volume likely 'to be chewed and digested,' as Bacon says, a book worthy 'to be read whole, and with diligence and attention.
