Customer Reviews

Wonderful book - gripping to the end.
The stories contained within this book are all excellent. You may well find yourself losing track of time as they draw you in and don't let go.

It's surprising how modern the stories contained within the book (Call of the Wild, White Fang, etc.) feel. If you liked any of the film versions of the stories then read this book: the films can't compete.

Read this book - it's worth every penny and all the stories within are gripping!!!

The Wild is within us
Beautifully written tale of survival of the fittest in the Wild. London perfectly manages to transpose quite human attributes to both wolf and dog in order for the reader to immerse in the realities of the sublime yet brutal life in the Wild...In doing so, London gives us the chance to communicate with our instincts and react to the events in the book rather than rationalising them.
