Most everyone has heard of Jack London, whose home is a state park in Glen Ellen. But few know about his wife, Charmian Kittredge London, who lived a full and spirited life herself. Charmian was ahead of her times—she packed a pistol, sailed the South Seas, boxed and wrote novels. Now is the chance to learn more about her adventures, as a series of docent-led tours at Jack London Park this summer will explore the cottage and museum on the grounds and shed light on the woman who helped London become the literary icon he is. The Life and Times of Charmian Kittredge London Tour happens throughout the summer, beginning April 24, at the Jack London State Park, 2400 London Ranch Road, Glenn Ellen. 11am. $50. 707.938.5216
