| Notes: | Buck, a pampered house pet, is stolen and carried off to the Klondike to serve as a sled dog. Plunged into a hostile, unfamiliar world of brutal men and wolfish dogs, Buck learns to fight for survival before he runs away from human contact altogether and takes his natural place in the wild. COMMENTS — After you read The Call of the Wild, read it again backwards and you’ll have the basic plot of London’s White Fang, a story of wolf dog that is rescued from its brutal owner and gradually becomes domesticated though kindness and patience. |
