What this book is about
Jack London's companion piece to The Call of the Wild follows White Fang, a wolf-dog born in the Yukon wilderness, through his brutal taming and use in dogfighting before he is rescued by a kind man from California. Where Call of the Wild moves toward savagery, White Fang is about the civilization of a wild creature — and the power of kindness over cruelty.
