The Call of the Wild

Buck is stolen from a comfortable California estate and sold north into the Klondike, where sled work and cold begin stripping away everything domestic in him. Jack London follows the dog through owners, harnesses and trails, and the story turns on what the Yukon awakens rather than on what it destroys. This Miles Kelly hardback presents the text in a bound gift format, which suits a novel often read first in childhood and returned to later for its treatment of instinct, endurance and the pull of country that has never been settled. For the shelf: • Jack London's Klondike story issued as a bound hardback edition • Buck's passage from household pet to sled dog to something older • Gold Rush trails, dog teams and the hard economics of the north • A gift-suited presentation from Miles Kelly Suited to older children, classroom reading and adult readers of adventure fiction, published by Miles Kelly and available at Boipoka.
