Born in San Francisco in 1876, Jack Griffith London attended grammar school and briefly studied English at university before dropping out to follow his wanderlust. In 1897, London travelled to Alaska and became part of the Klondike Gold Rush. He didn’t find his fortune but he did find plenty of inspiration for his writing. His best-known novel was The Call of the Wild (1903; Folio 2011, 2022); others included The Sea Wolf (1904) and White Fang (1906). Amongst his non-fiction works are People of the Abyss (1903) and John Barleycorn (1913). Jack London commited suicide in 1916 aged just 40 years old.
