London became a socialist and his writings reflect this change in his political views. The main character in this novel is Michael the brother of Jerry from London's book Jerry of the Islands. London has the ability to write from the viewpoint of this dog to the extent that the reader becomes to believe that the dog is a real person. A kindly man kidnaps Jerry and they take off on an adventure together. The psychology of our hero Michael is beautifully told in this novel by one of America's best loved storytellers.
