Engagingly written, Mini Classic The Call of the Wild tells the story of a domesticated dog called Buck stolen from his easy life and propelled into the world of the Klondike Gold Rush. Entirely unused to his harsh new life as a sled dog and the cruel men he encounters, Buck begins to hear the call of the wild as his hard journey continues. Favourite characters and scenes have been reimagined in twenty-four stunning full-colour plate illustrations by Helen Cann, with an additional short story by Jack London also included. Useful notes further enrich the reading experience.

Call of the Wild
Stolen from his pampered life on a Californian estate and shipped to the Klondike to work as a sledge dog, Buck triumphs over his circumstances and becomes the leader of a wolf pack. The story records the 'decivilisation' of Buck as he answers 'the call of the wild', an inherent memory of primeval origins to which he instinctively responds.

Penguin Readers
Penguin Readers is a series of simplified novels, film novelizations and original titles that introduce students at all levels to the pleasures of reading in English. Originally designed for teaching English as a foreign language, the series' combination of high interest level and low reading age makes it suitable for both English-speaking teenagers with limited reading skills and students of English as a second language. Many titles in the series also provide access to the pre-20th century literature strands of the National Curriculum English Orders. At the end of each book there is a section of exercises focusing on vocabulary building, comprehension, discussion and writing. Penguin Readers are graded at seven levels of difficulty, from 'Easystarts' with a 200-word vocabulary, to Level 6 (Advanced) with a 3000-word vocabulary. In addition, titles fall into one of three sub-categories: 'Contemporary', 'Classics' or 'Originals'.
