Jack London's stories are classic American favorites. Recorded unabridged in Bookcassette Audio are 'Call of the Wild' and three special Klondike stories: 'To Build a Fire', 'Love of Life' and 'To the Man on the Trail'. In 'Call of the Wild', a domestic dog is kidnapped from his comfortable life on a California estate and thrown into the wild north woods. Buck, half St. Bernard and half Scottish shepherd, is a strong dog but not accustomed to the harsh life of the north and he must fight for survival. He learns how to work hard; how to dig a hole in a snow bank to stay warm; how to eat anything no matter how loathsome; how to scent the weather; how to break ice to find water; and most importantly, how to survive cruelty. At one of the worst moments in his life, Buck receives unexpected human kindness from a new master. With the kind of devotion that only a dog can give, he shows loyalty to his master in ways that are both touching and profound. Unabridged. Read by Roger Dressler. 4 Cassettes. 5 hours.
