Near Fine with light rubbing and soiling to covers, light toning and occasional smudges to contents; binding a little over-opened at p. 149.
An uncommonly bright copy of Jack London's only juvenile novel, issued in book form after its appearance in St. Nicholas magazine. The sea yarn for boys is based on London's own past as a teenaged oyster pirate on the sloop Razzle Dazzle, and it is one of his scarcest books.
