About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Call of the Wild, by Jack London. Read by Tom Crawford: This is the story of Buck, dog napped from sunny California to snowy Arctic during the Alaska gold rush. This deservedly famous book has been already recorded by LibriVox and downloaded more than 100,000 times. Why, then, would anyone suggest another recording? Because this will be a Solo recording. One of the joys of LibriVox is also a source of frustration for some listeners. That is, getting used to a narrator just in time for it to change! So, with apologies to Gordon, Kristin, Jean, and Miette, I am doing a solo. (Introduction by Tom Crawford) Please be aware this book contains graphic descriptions of unspeakable animal cruelty and violence.
