The biting cold and the aching silence of the far North become an unforgettable backdrop for Jack London's vivid, rousing, superbly realistic wilderness adventure stories featuring the author's unique knowledge of the Yukon and the behavior of humans and animals facing nature at its cruelest.

CALL OF THE WILD (1903): 'Mush on!' Buck does not read the newspapers. If he had, he'd have known that for good strong dogs like himself trouble is brewing. Man has found gold and because of that Buck is kidnapped and dragged away from his sunny home to become a sledge dog in the harsh and freezing North. With strength, imagination and cunning on his side Buck must fight for survival. But will he ever trust Man again?

WHITE FANG (1906): Set in the frozen mountains of Northwest Canada, White Fang recounts the dangerous adventures of a half-wolf, half-dog cub that must fight to live in his savage surroundings. Turned violent by human abuse, White Fang is only able to trust again because of the kindness and patience of one man.
