"No other popular writer of his time did any better writing than you will find in The Call of the Wild." --H. L. Mencken One of the greatest American storytellers, Jack London enjoyed phenomenal popularity in his own time and remains widely read throughout the world.

The Call of the Wild, perhaps the best novel ever written about animals, traces a dog?s sudden entry into the wild and his education in survival among the wolves.
