Call of the Wild

Call of the Wild, by Jack London, became a huge bestseller when it was first published in 1903. It tells the story of Buck, a much-loved dog who is kidnapped and transported to the snowy wastes of northwest Canada to work for gold hunters. As the story unfolds, Buck becomes more and more a dog of the wild, until he faces a pack of wolves!This title is part of a wonderful new series that offers a quick way into a range of exciting stories. Fast-moving and accessible, each story is a shortened, dramatically illustrated version of the classic novel, which loses none of the strength and flavour of the original. Retold rather than abridged.
