Volume 1 of 2. This book is written only for those sincere and open-minded folk who want to know the real and living facts that his wife can tell. So unusual a man should be honored with an unusual biography, and Mrs. London's is bound to be frank beyond the ordinary, since she approached it with frankness. She did not minimize the criticism to which she subjected herself, but her philosophy was of a sort that transcended fear on this score. Jack London was her man of men. She felt privileged to speak her mind about him, what of his own desire; and she felt that she knew him somewhat, if only because he said so.
