Downloadin EPUB format, also available for Kindle or in PDFThe novel Valley of the Moon is a story of a working-class couple, Billy and Saxon Roberts, struggling laborers in Oakland at the Turn-of-the-Century, who left the city life behind and searched Central and Northern California for a suitable farmland to own. The book is notable for the scenes in which the proletarian hero enjoys fellowship with the artists' colony in Carmel, and he settles in the Valley of the Moon.

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.
