Bookplate of Jack London, circa 1905
Add to SetSummary
Jack London (1876-1916) was a prolific writer -- completing more than 50 fiction and non-fiction books, hundreds of short stories, and numerous articles between 1900 and 1916. His stories of high adventure were based upon his own experiences -- including those during the Alaska Gold Rush. It is not surprising that he picked a wolf and snowshoes logo for his bookplate.
