Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award
Jack London's adventurous nature, intuitive feeling for animal life, and superb storytelling skills give his tales a striking vitality and force. Thrilling action and a sense of justice characterize the classic stories in this collection.
The Call of the Wild
A bold-spirited dog named Buck is stripped from his comfortable life on a California estate and thrust into the rugged terrain of the Klondike. There he is made a sled dog and battles to become his team's leader and the devoted servant of John Thornton, a man who shows him kindness amid the savage lawlessness of man and beast.
White Fang
In the desolate, frozen wilds of northwest Canada, a lone wolf fights the heroic daily fight for life in the wild. But after he is captured and cruelly abused by men, he becomes a force of pure rage. Only one man sees inside the killer to his intelligence and nobility. But can his kindness touch White Fang?

JACK LONDON (1876-1916), an American writer and adventurer, was born into poverty and largely self-educated but led an extraordinarily eventful life. He traveled extensively and was at various times a war correspondent, oyster pirate, seaman, horticulturalist, sealer, hobo, and politician.
American novelist Jack London's greatest stories are revisited in this production, which offers a strong and powerful narration by John Lee. Lee's commanding presence is perfectly suited for these classic tales of the Klondike, in which animals fight for survival against all odds. The stories are legendary, and Lee is certainly aware of this. He gives London's work the utmost respect and admiration in his reading while making each story his own through his captivating performance. As he brings every word to life, his enunciation is clear and his tone impassioned. He transports listeners to the desolate North, casting them out into the wild to fend for themselves. Simply stunning. L.B. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award, 2008 Audies Finalist, NEA Big Read Selection © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
