The Turtles of Tasman. 100th Anniversary Collection

Jack London books by SeaWolf Press were selected for sale by the Jack London Museum.A beautfiul version with the first edition cover. This edition is part of the 100th Anniversary Collection honoring the 100th anniversary of Jack London's death in 1916. In his short 20-year career, he produced more than 50 books. The text and illustrations in this collection are taken from his early publications and the covers are replicas of the first edition covers. Fonts common 100 years ago are used--Century for the text and Bembo on the cover. The book's original format is matched as much as possible.Published in 1916, this is a collection of very different short stories. There are tales of murder as well as a play set in prehistoric times. "Finis" and "The End of the Story" are classic Jack London Klondike tales of adventure on the trail. "Told in the Drooling Ward" is an irreverent look at life in a California mental institution.
