A departure from London’s normal tales of the frozen North, all of these tales take place in the islands of Hawaii. The tales deal with racial issues, family relationships, leprosy quarantines, missionaries, and the diverse people who make their homes on the beautiful Hawaiian islands.

London traveled to Hawaii in the late 1800s and early 1900s, including an eight-month stay shortly before he died in 1916. He had a fondness for the islands that is apparent in the rich descriptions in these tales.

I know he was a product of his time, but man, Jack London used a whole lot of words to convey his point. Still, an iteresting peek into Hawaii from a haole’s perspective in the early 20th century.

Interesting if a bit longwinded

London is one of my favorite authors. I wish I had had the guts to travel like him. These stories are based on stories he heard while traveling in Hawaii. As always, Grover Gardener does a great job as narrator.
