Jack London was one of the greatest American writers of the early twentieth century. Many of London's books, including The Call of the Wild, White Fang, and The Sea-Wolf are still widely read by students worldwide. White Fang is a novel that tells the story of a wild wolfdog's journey to domestication. The action is set in the Yukon Territory during the Klondike Gold Rush and examines how animals view their world as well as how they view humans. The book is a companion novel to The Call of the Wild which centers around a domesticated dog who becomes wild in order to survive.
