Set in Yukon Territory, Canada during the 1890s Klondike Gold Rush, Jack London's White Fang is a gripping tale about a domesticated dog trying to survive in the wild.

Read by award-winning audiobook narrator and producer Mike Vendetti, make sure you are in a warm room when you listen to this tale of the North because at 75 degrees below zero, it is cold.
