The popular American novelist (1876–1916), best known for such adventure classics as The Call of the Wild, The Sea-Wolf, and White Fang, drew his writings from his experiences as a prospector, hobo, pirate, gentleman farmer, reformer, and war correspondent. Though plagued by addiction to drugs and alcohol, London wrote prolifically and was the highest-paid American writer of his day. (13426)
