Jerry of the Islands is an adventure novel by Jack London, published posthumously in 1917. The story follows Jerry, a spirited Irish terrier born on a coconut plantation in the Solomon Islands. After his beloved master is killed, Jerry embarks on a perilous journey across the South Pacific, passing through the hands of various owners—some kind, others cruel. Through the dog's loyal and intelligent eyes, London examines themes of loyalty, survival, and human nature amid the colonial violence and racial complexities of the Pacific islands. The novel serves as a companion piece to London's related work, Michael, Brother of Jerry.
