Jack London (1876-1916), was an American author and a pioneer in the then-burgeoning world of commercial magazine fiction. He was one of the first Americans to make a lucrative career exclusively from writing. London was self-educated. He taught himself in the public library, mainly just by reading books. In 1898, he began struggling seriously to break into print, a struggle memorably described in his novel, Martin Eden (1909). Jack London was fortunate in the timing of his writing career. He started just as new printing technologies enabled lower-cost production of magazines. This resulted in a boom in popular magazines aimed at a wide public, and a strong market for short fiction. In 1900, he made $2,500 in writing, the equivalent of about $75,000 today. His career was well under way. Among his famous works are: Children of the Frost (1902), The Call of the Wild (1903), The Sea Wolf (1904), The Game (1905), White Fang (1906), The Road (1907), Before Adam (1907), Adventure (1911), and The Scarlet Plague (1912).

An abridged and illustrated chapter book retelling of White Fang, part of the bestselling Classic Starts® series that has sold more than 8 million copies! Half wolf, half dog, White Fang fully understands the cruelty of both nature and humans. After nearly starving to death during the frigid Arctic winter, he’s taken in first by a man who “trains” him through constant whippings, and then by another who forces him to participate in vicious dogfights. Follow White Fang as he overcomes these obstacles and finally meets someone who offers him kindness and love.
Experience the raw power of nature and the unbreakable spirit of survival in The Call of the Wild and White Fang, two of Jack London’s most celebrated adventure novels. In The Call of the Wild, follow Buck, a domesticated dog stolen from his comfortable home and thrust into the brutal world of the Yukon wilderness during the Klondike Gold Rush. As he learns to navigate the harsh landscape and the law of club and fang, Buck must embrace his primal instincts to survive and discover his true nature. White Fang tells the opposite tale—that of a wild wolf-dog who gradually adapts to human companionship. Facing cruelty, hardship, and ultimately kindness, White Fang’s journey explores themes of resilience, trust, and the delicate balance between civilization and the wild. Brimming with adventure, emotion, and deep reflections on the natural world, this collection is a must-read for lovers of classic literature, animal stories, and gripping tales of survival.
