Welcome to IWETHEY!

New The earlier version was simpler. Maybe that's it?
[link|http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/London/Writings/Uncollected/tobuildafire.html|Here]:

This is the first, more juvenile version of a story later published for an adult audience in The Century Magazine in August 1908.


TBaF really struck a cord with me. I've only read it 3-4 times but in the last ~ 30 years I can still remember quite a bit of it word for word.

Cheers,
Scott.
New Sure is great to have free literature in the public domain
Too bad there won't ever be any more of it.

New Probably it's as close as I can remember
Assuming this title was \ufffd Jack London (Wolf House is just a few miles from here) - I have to suppose that the story couldn't have been Bowdlerized by a textbook pub. But the little grey cells fail me re the exact ending, with the fistful of matches.
