White Fang
Life is hard and dangerous for both people and animals in the frozen Canadian North. For a wolf like White Fang it is a continuous fight to find food. When White Fang meets the people of the North - first Indians and then White Men - he learns to live with them like a dog. But some men are cruel to their dogs and others are kind. Will White Fang's life be any easier now? Much of White Fang is written from the viewpoint of the dog, enabling London to explore how animals view their world and how they view humans. The book also explores complex themes including morality and redemption. This classic story is a companion novel to London's 'The Call of the Wild', which is about a kidnapped, domesticated dog embracing his wild ancestry to survive and thrive in the wild.
