"The quintessential Jack London is in the on-rushing compulsive-ness of his northern stories," noted James Dickey. "Few men have more convincingly examined the connection between the creative powers of the individual writer and the unconscious drive to breed and to survive, found in the natural world. . . London is in and committed to his creations to a degree very nearly unparalleled in the composition of fiction." His story of the dog Buck (“The Call of the Wild”), who learns to survive in the bleak Yukon wilderness, is viewed by many as his symbolic autobiography. “White Fang” (1906), which London conceived as a "complete antithesis and companion piece to The Call of the Wild," is the tale of an abused wolf-dog tamed by exposure to civilization. “To Build a Fire”, a marvelously desolate short story set in the Klondike. Content: The Call of the Wild White Fang Love of Life To Build a Fire Illustrated by Valery Gogina and Lysa Caliostra.

The tale from 1906 by Lewis London is set in the Yukon Territory during the Klondike Gold Rush and tells the tale of a half-dog, half-wolf creature living in the wild. White Fang shows a wild animal finally being domesticated, in contrast to his well-known Call of the Wild story of a domestic dog going back into the wild. It is an engrossing story about the difficult existence in the frigid wastelands of the north, recounted from the wolf's point of view. White Fang returns to society at the end of the narrative.

James E. Sisson III, 1917-1986, of Vernon, Alabama, began studies in 1960 at the University of California, Berkeley, with Professor James D. Hart, and began his research on Jack London in 1970. Sisson's contributions to the field of Jack London scholarship were impressive. Joan London considered Sisson the premiere authority on her father, and Jack London scholars around the world respected and admired his work. Discovering previously unpublished Jack London plays at the Library of Congress, Sisson had London's play Gold published for the first time by the Holmes Book Company. He collected and published London's high school writings in Jack London's Articles and Short Stories in the (Oakland) High School Aegis; edited and co-authored with Dale Walker The Fiction of Jack London: A Chronological Bibliography; and compiled several bibliographies, including Jack London First Editions, The Non-Fiction of Jack London, The Collected Poems of Jack London, and Jack London and the South Seas: A Chronological Bibliography. Sisson regularly published pamphlets, articles, and reviews on Jack London in newsletters and newspapers, and reviewed almost every London work published since 1960. A tireless worker and advocate on behalf of London scholarship, he assisted many other researchers with grants and materials. Sisson's French heritage influenced his participation in Paris publications of London's writings. When editor Francis Lacassin translated London's science fiction story, "Star Rover" (1915) into French as "Le Vagabond des Etoiles," Sisson helped with extensive original research.
