6–32351.
Descriptive note in Annual, 1906.
“Of varying interest and merit they seem, by the natural limitations of the short story, to hinder the powers of the author from coming into full play.”
| − + | Cath. World. 84: 833. Mr. ’07. 190w. |
“These short stories of Mr. London’s are rather poor stuff, as lacking in quality as in imagination; and there is little to be said for them on the score of originality.”

* London, Jack. [The road.] †$2. Macmillan.
Jack London is the invincible tramp in these pages. Often enough the vulnerable heel is exposed to the arrows flying thick in “hobo” land, but by means of quick wits, his alertness and master strength he wards them off. “The road” records his round of underworld experiences which began at eighteen, and it abounds in tramp tricks, tramp scrapes, and tramp vernacular, interesting both to the curious reader and the student of sociology.
