Dutch Courage and Other Stories

by Jack London

This collection of short stories by Jack London showcases his mastery of narrative and his deep connection to the natural world. While many of the stories are suitable for young readers, the volume also includes a tale for a more mature audience, 'Whose Business is to Live.' London's stories often explore themes of survival, courage, and the bond between humans and animals, drawing on his own experiences in the Alaskan wilderness and on the sea. They offer insights into the challenges and triumphs of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
