Description
Jack London's White Fang is the story of a wolf-dog's journey from wildness into becoming civilized by humanity. Set in Canada's Yukon, a lot of the novel is told from an animal point of view, exploring how animals might see us, and see the world around them. White Fang's mirror novel is The Call of the Wild, London's best-known work, in which a civilized dog slowly becomes a wild animal.
