Jack London made a specialty of books about marvelous dogs. Most readers are familiar with White Fang and The Call of the Wild. Another story of a wonderful dog, Jerry of the Islands, tells the story of a dog from the Southern seas, rather than the cold North. Jerry's life is colored by his experiences in the rough -- and sadly, racist -- land of Melanesia. First published in 1915, Jerry of the Islands tells the story of Jerry's narrow world, in which the dog has been born and raised to carry out the racist aims of his master, and his travels after that time -- eventually to the happy ending in the new, golden land of California, where he is reunited with his family at last.
