Would you like a wolf as a pet? This is the story of a wolf named White Fang and his journey through the world of men. This is the story of White Fang, a wild wolf who falls into the hands of men. They use White Fang’s strength and are cruel to him so that he becomes fierce and dangerous. But through Scott, a different type of man, White Fang learns that between animals and people there can be love and respect and loyalty.
Classic
Jack London (1876 - 1916) was an American writer and journalist who wanted people to think about others. He wrote two stories from the point of view of a wolf and explored how they see their world and humans. White Fang is one of these.

long time ago, in an icy cold forest in the north of Canada there lived a little grey wolf. Life was very difficult but the little grey wolf was happy.
One day his mother went to look for food. She was half wolf and half dog and she was very good at finding food. But the little wolf was tired of waiting and he was hungry! He went down to the river to look for her.
3
There were some Indians by the river. He barked and showed his teeth but they just laughed. ‘Look at his white teeth! Let’s call him White Fang,’ said an Indian called Grey Beaver.
4
Grey Beaver took White Fang to his village. White Fang was very cold and hungry and he wanted his mother. He saw a strange thing on the ground. It looked like the sun! He smelled it and OOOOOOOW, his nose hurt! The Indians laughed at him. ‘That’s fire!’ said Grey Beaver.
5
White Fang became a sleddog. But the other dogs hated him because he was different. White Fang learned to fight them. He learned to be the quickest, the cleverest, the fiercest and the most dangerous. No-one was kind to White Fang so White Fang was kind to no-one.
6
White Fang went to Fort Yukon with Grey Beaver. Many men went to Fort Yukon to look for gold. Grey Beaver wasn’t kind and he often hit White Fang but he wasn’t cruel. Then, Grey Beaver sold White Fang to Beauty Smith. Beauty Smith was cruel. Very cruel! White Fang wanted to go back to the forest, or to Grey Beaver or anywhere ... but he couldn’t. 7
