The Night-Born

A woman good to look upon, if unlettered, of clean but sordid life, set free from the pots and kettles of a Juneau kitchen by chance reading of Thoreau’s “Cry of the Human”—a woman who finds her freedom and her joy queening a tribe of wild Indians and several thousand square miles of Arctic hunting territory—this is the heroine Jack London creates for the story which opens this collection of short tales. Jack London is at his splendid best perhaps when his people and his scenes are set in the far north; but here are some of his more notable short stories, with widely varied settings and character, but with a touch of “the night-born” wildness in all.
