Description: The Wolf King by Joseph Wharton Lippincott, 1937 George Harrap, 2nd edition, HardbackBound in blue cloth with black & white illustration on front coverSpine and boards are sunnedMarks on front coverEndpapers are foxed and have (label?) marksSome slight foxing at page edges, otherwise clean A dramatic and thrilling biography of the giant black wolf who had become a legend in his region of the Alberta wilderness. Settlers dreaded the long howl of the great wolf leader and the ringing chorus of the fierce pack in the northern night. Hunters and wardens alike were continually baffled and outwitted by the Wolf King’s wild deeds and uncanny intelligence. The smartest whelp of a litter of six, the black wolf learns fast and becomes a fighter and a leader. To read his story in the author’s stirring narrative is almost to be — as the author was — on the rugged Alberta frontier, and to witness the Wolf King’s battle for mastery over his kind in a mountain country where he can meet his human enemies on equal terms. This is unquestionably one of the classics of American wild life. It has held its place in the affection of readers for many years. Readers of this author’s book, Wilderness Champion, will rejoice in this companion story about the same great wolf that befriended Reddy the Champion Hound.
