“It was true, there were other dogs. There could not but be other dogs on so vast a place, but thye did not count.

Buck, the magnificent offspring of a St. Bernard and Scotch shephard dog, lives contentedly on a California estate until he is stolen and shipped northwards to be trained as a sledge dog. Uprooted from the civilized word, he is thrown into the cruel and savage struggle of the Klondike gold rush. The story of his heroic adventure and his response to the ‘call of the wild’ has not only excited readers but also struck a deeper, mythic chord.

Of all Jack London’s fictions none has been so popular as his dog stories. Included in this selection is the companion novel to The Call of the Wild, White Fang, and five famous short stories: “Bâtard’, Moon-Face’, ‘Brown Wolf’, ‘That Sport’, and ‘To Build a Fire’, all with canine themes.
