JOHN BARLEYCORN. Illustrated by H.T. Dunn.
This remarkable book is a record of the author's own amazing
experiences. This big, brawny world rover, who has been acquainted
with alcohol from boyhood, comes out boldly against John
Barleycorn. It is a string of exciting adventures, yet it forcefully
conveys an unforgetable idea and makes a typical Jack London book.
THE VALLEY OF THE MOON. Frontispiece by George Harper.
The story opens in the city slums where Billy Roberts, teamster
and ex-prize fighter, and Saxon Brown, laundry worker, meet and
love and marry. They tramp from one end of California to the
other, and in the Valley of the Moon find the farm paradise that is
to be their salvation.
BURNING DAYLIGHT. Four illustrations.
The story of an adventurer who went to Alaska and laid the
foundations of his fortune before the gold hunters arrived. Bringing
his fortunes to the States he is cheated out of it by a crowd of money
kings, and recovers it only at the muzzle of his gun. He then starts
out as a merciless exploiter on his own account. Finally he takes to
drinking and becomes a picture of degeneration. About this time
he falls in love with his stenographer and wins her heart but not
her hand and then -- but read the story!
A SON OF THE SUN. Illustrated by A.O. Fischer and C.W. Ashley.
David Grief was once a light-haired, blue-eyed youth who came
from England to the South Seas in search of adventure. Tanned
like a native and as lithe as a tiger, he became a real son of the sun.
The life appealed to him and he remained and became very wealthy.
THE CALL OF THE WILD. Illustrations by Philip R. Goodwin and
Charles Livingston Bull. Decorations by Charles E. Hooper.
A book of dog adventures as exciting as any man's exploits
could be. Here is excitement to stir the blood and here is picturesque
color to transport the reader to primitive scenes."
THE SEA WOLF. Illustrated by W.J. Aylward.
Told by a man whom Fate suddenly swings from his fastidious
life into the power of the brutal captain of a sealing schooner. A
novel of adventure warmed by a beautiful love episode that every
reader will hail with delight.
WHITE FANG. Illustrated by Charles Livingston Bull.
"White Fang" is part dog, part wolf and all brute, living in the
frozen north; he gradually comes under the spell of man's companionship,
and surrenders all at the last in a fight with a bull dog.
Thereafter he is man's loving slave.
