Summary

The Call of the Wild is a short adventure novel by Jack London, published in 1903 and set in Yukon, Canada, during the 1890s Klondike Gold Rush, when strong sled dogs were in high demand.

The central character of the novel is a dog named Buck. The story opens at a ranch in Santa Clara Valley, California when Buck is stolen from his home and sold into service as a sled dog in Alaska.

He becomes progressively feral in the harsh environment, where he is forced to fight to survive and dominate other dogs. By the end, he sheds the veneer of civilization, and relies on primordial instinct and learned experience to emerge as a leader in the wild.

Narrated by renowned author and actress Michelle Bowser, The Call of the Wild is a story for all ages and can be yours in this special presentation from Burning Bulb Publishing.
