Jack London
Jack London was an American author of adventure novels and stories. He is best known for his novels The Call of the Wild, Sea Wolf and White Fang. At his peak, he was the highest paid and the most popular of all living writers. Because of early financial troubles, he was largely self-educated past grammar school. London used his own life experiences in his writing. He spent time in the Klondike during the Gold Rush and also worked as (or was) an oyster pirate, a seaman, a sealer and a hobo.
