than you will find in The Call of the Wild.a--H. L. Mencken One of
the greatest American storytellers, Jack London enjoyed phenomenal

feeling for animal life, and a sense of justice that often
manifests itself through violence. "The Call of the Wild," perhaps
the best novel ever written about animals, traces a dogas sudden
entry into the wild and his education in survival among the wolves.
