Commonly considered to be Jack London’s tour de force, The Call of the Wild tells the story of Buck, a domesticated dog ripped from a comfortable life when he is stolen from his home on a California ranch and forced into service as a member of a dog sled pack. In White Fang, a wolf pup survives in the harsh wilds of North America and grows to be fierce, distrustful, and morose before being adopted by an intrepid adventurer. This compilation presents Jack London’s companion classic works on dogs which richly describe their indomitable spirit and mysterious connection to mankind.
