The story takes place in Yukon Territory, Canada, during the Klondike Gold Rush at the end of the 19th-century, and details a wild wolfdog's journey to domestication.

White Fang examines the violent world of wild animals and the equally violent world of humans. The book also explores complex themes including morality and redemption. Jack London was the most successful writer in America in the early twentieth century. He advocates Socialism and Darwinism in his works. His stories of men and women struggling for survival against the overwhelming power of nature are drawn mostly from his own life. His experiences at sea and during the Klondike gold-rush inspired his best-known works The Sea-Wolf, The Call of the Wild, and White Fang.

The book White Fang by Jack London was bought for my grandson who likes the way London writes. I also purchased one for myself so when we discuss the book I can speak with him from a standpoint of having also read the book.
I enjoyed the book as much as he did. It is a shame London's life was cut short I think there would have been many more stories to enjoy had he lived.
