Description

In Babes in the Wood, acclaimed poet and playwright George Sterling tells the exciting adventures of two cave kids, a boy and a girl, growing from age 10 to young adulthood in a prehistoric tribe. The young troublemakers face saber-tooth cats, woolly mammoths, and other Stone Age dangers--including their tribe's short-tempered chief, the boy's father. This is the only longer work of fiction by Sterling, who wrote Babes in the Wood in response to his best friend Jack London's controversial cave man novel Before Adam. Literary detective Vince Emery restored its text and tells the surprising story of its creation in its introduction, "Jack London, George Sterling, and Their Cave Man Chronicles." Lost for more than a hundred years, this is the first book publication of Babes in the Wood. Neal Hotelling, Carmel Pine Cone: "Be prepared to be surprised, as I was by a new book of Sterling's fiction, Babes in the Wood. Included with the fiction is Emery's wonderful deep dive into the relationship between Sterling and Jack London." S.T. Joshi, editor of Complete Poetry by George Sterling: "The Sterling stories are all entertaining and have never been reprinted; but the chief virtue of this book is Emery's own extensive 60-page introduction on Sterling's relations with [Jack] London [and] the writing of the stories." Nicholas Ruddick, author of The Fire in the Stone: "I've just finished Babes in the Wood with very great pleasure." Donald Sidney-Fryer, author of West of Wherevermore: "Truly remarkable, if not marvellous. The introduction is worth its weight in gold."
