Book excerpt: This title is the fully illustrated edition of The Little Lady of the Big House by Jack London as it was originally published in The Cosmopolitan Magazine. It includes all the original 30 picture illustrations by Howard Christy.The Little Lady of the Big House is a psychological drama concerning a love triangle, Dick Forrest, his wife Paula and Evan Graham by Jack London who once said of this novel: "It is all sex from start to finish - in which no sexual adventure is actually achieved or comes within a million miles of being achieved, and in which, nevertheless, is all the guts of sex, coupled with strength".This a story that did upset readers in London's days for its gushing sexual imagery and its close portrayal of the tempting pull of adultery. Modern critics, on the other hand, deride its Victorian coyness and sentimentality, its unrealistic characters.
