Uprooted from the good life of an estate in California, Buck-the dog hero of The Call of the Wild-is thrust into the turmoil of the Klondike gold rush in the savage and unrelenting northland. As one critic put it, it is ‘Fierce, brutal, splashed with blood, and live with the crack of whip and club’. Its place is assured as one of the world’s greatest ‘Ripping Yarns’.

White Fang is London’s celebrated companion dog- story to The Call of the Wild. It chronicles the triumph of goodness and love over a spirit once brutalised by violent circumstances and a harsh environment.
