Jack London
Jack London (1876-1916) was an American author, journalist, and social activist. He was one of the first fiction writers to obtain worldwide celebrity and a large fortune from his fiction alone. His best-known works are The Call of the Wild, The Sea Wolf and White Fang, all available as World Classics in Large Print.
When you discover the The Call of the Wild for the first time, you will want to read White Fang soon after. Adventure into the Yukon, witness the transformation of a domesticated pet into a sled dog in The Call of the Wild, and read about how White Fang, self-exiled from humanity because of past abuse, is tamed by the care of one man.
