Jerry, a lively Irish terrier pup, leaves the plantation where he was born aboard a schooner recruiting island labourers, and fate carries him ashore on Malaita. There he passes into the hands of the old chief Bashti and learns to survive among people who might just as easily eat him as keep him.
A dog story of real feeling, published after London’s death; its portrayal of the islanders carries the racial attitudes of 1917. Download the free EPUB.
