The Little Lady of the Big House

“The Little Lady of the Big House” is a 1915 novel by American writer Jack London. His last novel ever published, the story revolves around a love triangle including the protagonist, Dick Forrest, his wife, Paula, and an old friend named Evan Graham. Unable to choose between the two men, Paula mortally wounds herself with a rifle in what her husband believes to be a suicide attempt. John Griffith London (1876 – 1916), commonly known as Jack London, was an American journalist, social activist, and novelist. He was an early pioneer of commercial magazine fiction, becoming one of the first globally-famous celebrity writers who were able to earn a large amount of money from their writing. London is famous for his contributions to early science fiction and also notably belonged to "The Crowd", a literary group an Francisco known for its radical members and ideas. Other notable works by this author include: “Martin Eden” (1909), “The Kempton-Wace Letters” (1903), and “The Call of the Wild” (1903). Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
