ANNOTATION
Part wolf and part dog, orphaned White Fang relies on his instincts as well as his inborn strength and courage to survive in the Yukon wilderness despite both animal and human predators but eventually comes to make his peace with man.
FROM THE PUBLISHER
Set in the frozen mountains of Northwest Canada, White Fang recounts the dangerous adventures of a half-wolf, half-dog cub that must fight to live in his savage surroundings. Turned violent by human abuse, White Fang is only able to trust again because of the kindness and patience of one man.
Jack London's life was one of adventure and independence. Upon leaving his home at only fifteen, he traveled the most of North America as a vagabond. He never lost his childhood love of reading and learning and his many adventures spurred his best-selling books The Call of the Wild (1903) and White Fang (1906).
SYNOPSIS
White Fang stands out as one of his finest achievements, a spellbinding novel of life in the northern wilds.
In gripping detail, London bares the savage realities of the battles for survival among all species in a harsh, unyielding environment.
FROM THE CRITICS
Children's Literature - Judy Katsh
Jack London's story of the dog-wolf hybrid who is raised first as a wolf and later comes to know the world of dogs and humans is a riveting one. Teachers and other readers interested in growth and development will be especially fascinated by London's philosophy as repeatedly portrayed in the book as the "clay" of nature being "molded" by the environment of nurture. In this annotated version of the story, the original text is complete as written. Notes about the physical and social environment of the times during which the story takes place appear in wide margins. While many teachers of history and literature may find these connections helpful in their lesson planning and/or delivery; readers may find them distracting and intrusive. Oftentimes the marginal notes relate directly to events on that page of the text, but more often, they do not. Further, the detached reportorial style of these notes put them in direct conflict with the personal and emotional story that's being told. It's instructive to relate history and literature, but this may not be the best way to accomplish that interdisciplinary goal. 1999 (orig.
