He reached Alaska and the valley of the Yukon River, The trip to the Klondike was filled with adventure but London failed to "strike it rich." Like most others in the gold rush, he came back poorer than when he had left home. During the next few years, however, he began to win success in the field of writing, thanks In large part to his memories of Alaska. In 1903 he wrote a book, "The Call of the Wild," which became popular all over the United States. It was followed by many other volumes, including "The Sea Wolf," "The Iron Heel" and "The Valley of the Moon." London had written one short dog story and decided to write an other. After starting the new story, he found that he "could not stop." The short story became a long one.

His imagination was strong and vivid. For a whole month he forgot everything except his writing. The long story was "The Call of the Wild." It is about a dog who remained loyal to man until the wolves called him back to wild life. Anthony S.
