The Call of the Wild
New York: Macmillan Company, 1903.
Price: $500.00
Hardcover. Ninth printing. Bookplate on front fly, else a beautiful, fine copy with the white painted "snow" on the spine and front board especially bright, lacking the dust jacket. Along with *White Fang*, one of the two great novels for which the author seems destined to be remembered. His empathy for animals, combined with his appreciation of the Darwinian lessons of life, here overcome London's occasionally simplistic political agenda, resulting in a classic tale for both children and adults. A lovely copy of this relatively early printing, printed a little more than a year after the first printing.
