Description:

From Library Journal

Far away from his snowy Yukon adventures, London set this 1913 novel in the warmth of California's green hills. It follows Billy and Saxon Roberts, who, after becoming disillusioned with labor difficulties, strike out on the road north to find a place where they can live close to the land. This edition sports a new foreword by California State Librarian Kevin Starr.

Review

"Jack London at his supreme best." -- Tillie Olsen

"London was--like Thomas Jefferson--a rational humanist and a scientific progressivist; he was also--like Jefferson--strongly enamored of the pastoral dream, seeing in the return to the land the possibilities of spiritual as well as physical regeneration." -- Earle Labor and Jeanne Campbell Reesman, "Jack London"
