Neither the affection that surrounds him, nor the good living conditions can make him overcome his innermost desire to go back to his roots... --- FRANKLIN K. MATHIEWS, Chief Scout Librarian, Boy Scouts of America: "It is hoped the stories presented will serve to exercise both the boy's mind and conscience; that seeing and feeling life and nature as Jack London saw and felt it--the best and the worst in human nature, with the Infinite always near and from whom there is no escape--seeing and feeling such things boys will develop the emotional muscles of the spirit, have opened up new windows to their imaginations, and withal add some line or color to their life's ideals."
