This companion to The Call of the Wild takes that basic premise of a dog returning to the wild and flips it on its head with a wolf coming in to be among people. White Fang's story is not quite as compelling as Buck's, perhaps because it is more difficult to understand his loyalty to humans in spite of his suffering at their hands. London's ability to get inside animal's minds and actions though is still exquisite, and this is well-worth the read. Recommended.
