5.5" x 8", ~300+ pp. per each of four volumes. In a career that lasted barely two decades, London transitioned from a raw reporter of the brutal Klondike to a complex psychological novelist, using these four works to map his changing worldview: The matching 4-volume set of Jack London's masterpieces draws its interior illustrations and frontispieces from historic, definitive artwork originally commissioned by the Limited Editions Club and The Heritage Press. Because each book was originally developed to capture the unique environment of London's stories, Easton Press preserved the specific illustrators for each individual title: The Call of the Wild / Illustrator: Charles Livingston Bull. Bull was one of America's foremost wildlife illustrators of the early 20th century (famously sketching live animals directly at the Bronx Zoo). White Fang Illustrator: Lydia Dabcovich. Her drawings beautifully chart White Fang's opposite journey-the slow, grueling transformation from a wild, fierce wolf-dog into a loyal, domesticated companion. The Sea-Wolf Illustrator: Fletcher Martin. Martin, a celebrated American painter and World War II artist, supplied a suite of robust, highly dynamic illustrations. His raw, muscular style and painterly focus are perfectly suited to the novel's dramatic, violent Pacific seascapes. "The man had saved his life, which was something. but, further he was the ideal master.he saw to the welfare of his dogs as if they were his own children, because he could not help it."
