Much like London's earlier animal fiction novel THE CALL OF THE WILD, it was particularly popular among young audiences.

This copy is the second issue, as are virtually all known copies of the first edition. This edition, with its slate grey binding and stylish plates by naturalist and taxidermist Charles Livingston Bull, is evocative of the northern wilderness Jack London so beautifully describes.
