To Build a Fire and Tales of the North

A wonderful collection of seven stories by Jack London. The all-time classic story, “To Build a Fire”, tells of survival in the unforgiving wilderness. A solo newcomer ignores the advice of old-timers and travels alone in sub-zero temperatures where survival may depend on your ability to start a fire. This collection also includes “Lost Face” which tells of a trapper ingenuously trying to avoid torture at the hands of his captors. “The One Thousand Dozen” examines the importance of eggs in the far north.
