A little corny but a great read for Dog Lovers. The sequel is “Michael, Brother of Jerry”. If you like London’s tales, especially his dog stories or South Seas stories you’ll like this. If you’ve owned an Irish Terrier you’ll know how accurate London is, he definitely had owned one and, from the preface, one very similar to Jerry.
Jerry is born on a plantation in the Solomon Islands, accompanies a White Trader and lives among the natives. The book is filled with South Sea Islands lore of the turn of the century before last. Right up there with Conrad and Stevenson for lovers of that millieu.
