Six has always been a number we group things around - Six of the best, six of one half a dozen of another, six feet under, six pack, six degrees of separation and a sixth sense are but a few of the ways we use this number.Such is its popularity that we thought it is also a very good way of challenging and investigating an author's work to give width, brevity, humour and depth across six of their very best.In this series we gather together authors whose short stories both rivet the attention and inspire the imagination to visit their gems in a series of six, to roam across an author's legacy in a few short hours and gain a greater understanding of their writing and, of course, to be lavishly entertained by their ideas, their narrative and their way with words.These stories can be surprising and sometimes at a tangent to what we expected, but each is fully formed and a marvellous adventure into the world and words of a literary master.1 - Six of the Best - Jack London - An Introduction2 - Jack London - An Introduction3 - An Odyssey of the North by Jack London4 - To Build a Fire by Jack London5 - A Piece of Steak by Jack London6 - The White Silence by Jack London7 - A Thousand Deaths by Jack London8 - In a Far Country by Jack London
