Tom Ratliff, Illustrated by Penko Gelev; from the novel by Jack London - All books by this author Graphic Classics - All books in this series Set in Canada's Yukon Territory during great gold rush that occurred in the 1890s, White Fang tells the dramatic story of a mixed breed wolf-dog that is rescued from near-death by a kindhearted gold prospector. The new master then nurtures the great animal to health, tames it, and thus gains a true friend and stalwart companion. The attractive and ever growing Graphic Classics series uses the graphic novel format to introduce children to many of the world's greatest literary works. The atmospheric illustrations are of unusually high quality, and the narratives are paced to attract and hold young readers' interest. In addition to the story, each Graphic Classic features a brief biography summarizing its author's life, a list of his or her important works, a time line of historic events that helped inspire the story, general notes, and an index. These books make ideal introductions to the riches of world literature to junior and senior high school students--and especially to those young readers who are hesitant to delve into the books in their original form. All Graphic Classics are available in both paperback and hardcover editions. (Ages 8 and older) (0764163027) Hardcover / 48 Pages / 6 3/4 x 10 / 2011 | ||
