Description
This beautiful HarperCollins Children's Classics edition is perfect for every bookshelf. A pup is born to the snow-bitten wilds of the Northwest Territories, not quite a wolf and not quite a dog either. In this brutal landscape, he must fight tooth and claw to live - and soon earns his name, White Fang. Journeying from the Yukon to California, White Fang will encounter savage lynxes, gold hunters, masters both cruel and kind, before finding his home at last. Inspired by author Jack London's own experiences and companion to The Call of the Wild, White Fang is an iconic tale of survival and redemption set amidst the Klondike Gold Rush. Complete your library with HarperCollins Children's Classics.
Author Biography
Jack London (1876-1916) was raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. In his teens, London left school and became a seaman. He was an oyster pirate and a deep-sea sailor before returning to land to ride freight trains around the country as a hobo. He spent the winter of 1897 in Canada and Alaska, a trip that provided inspiration for his novel THE CALL OF THE WILD.
