Presented together in one volume, here are two of the greatest and most popular animal stories ever written. Even to designate them `animal stories` seems to undervalue them since these tremendous works are so much more than mere children`s tales. The Call of the Wild tells how Buck, a domestic dog, is kidnapped from California to pull sleds in the Arctic wastes. In the second story, White Fang, three-quarter wolf and one-quarter dog, endures considerable suffering in the Arctic before being taken to live in California. The two narratives are remarkable for the vividness of their descriptions and the success with which London imagines life from a non-human perspective.
