Item description from seller

Reprint. Hard cover, tall 8vo, in blue decorated cloth printed in silver and black with image of dog howling at the moon in a forest. In original slipcase. xiv, 91 pages. CONDITION: Fine, as new, in a Fine slipcase. **Buck, the St. Bernard and Scotch Shepherd dog from California, is lured away from the family home by unscrupulous gamblers, theives and get-rich-quick -'ner-do-wells looking to cash in on the need for sled-dogs during the mining craze of the1890's Klondike Alaskan goldrush, at the beginning of this classic action-adventure dog tale by California-born Jack London (1876-1916). Buck must learn to work with the pack, adapt to harsh environments, endure hunger, privation and harsh treatment at the hands of his masters. Told from the dog's perspective, it become apparent that matters of character extend even to our canine friends--and enemies. First serialised in the "Saturday Evening Post" in 1903, the book came out in book form the same year, and has enduring popularity today. Massachusetts Artist Abigail Rorer's graphically bold prints are wonderful additions to the text.…
