The titular story, "Lost Face," follows a European adventurer who finds himself captured by Indigenous people in the Yukon. As he faces the threat of torture, he must rely on his wits and cunning to escape his captors' plans. The collection includes some of London's most notable works, such as "To Build a Fire," which depicts the struggles of a man battling the harsh wilderness as he attempts to survive in sub-zero temperatures. Other stories in the anthology explore themes of survival, human resilience, and the brutal realities of life in the unforgiving landscapes of Alaska and the Yukon during the Klondike Gold Rush era. Overall, "Lost Face" showcases London's mastery of storytelling and his ability to convey the stark contrasts between civilization and the wild, as well as the complexities of human nature in extreme circumstances.

I have been selling (and buying) since 1999 and truly enjoy the eBay experience. Because I am not an expert in any field, I may omit something which is of importance to you. Please feel free to ask specific questions about the item you are interested in. We are a non-smoking household with one cat. That said, many items are from tag sales, thrift stores, estate sales, etc. and I am not the original owner. I will certainly describe any detectable odors. My shipping charges are based upon many factors (the time it takes me to do the description, size of the item and the amount of packing materials it will require for it to be "Post Office Proof," gasoline for the car, tape/envelopes, and my time, etc.) and feel that the shipping charges are very fair, so please don't ask me to participate in the "exact postage campaign." Note: eBay has now started charging sellers a 10% final value fee on shipping charges! Payment must be received within 3 days of the close of the auction. If no contact is made from buyer within 72 hours of auction end, item may be relisted or offered to another bidder. Thank you for your interest in my auction, good luck should you decide to bid.
