{"product_id":"the-call-of-the-wild-and-white-fang-2","title":"The Call of the Wild and White Fang","description":"The illustrations for this series were created by Scott McKowen, who, with his wife Christina Poddubiuk, operates Punch \u0026amp; Judy Inc., a company specializing in design and illustration for theater and performing arts. Their projects often involve research into the visual aspects of historical settings and characters. Christina is a theater set and costume designer and contributed advice on the period clothing for the illustrations. \u003cp\u003eScott created these drawings in scratchboard ­ an engraving medium which evokes the look of popular art from the period of these stories. Scratchboard is an illustration board with a specifically prepared surface of hard white chalk. A thin layer of black ink is rolled over the surface, and lines are drawn by hand with a sharp knife by scraping through the ink layer to expose the white surface underneath. The finished drawings are then scanned and the color is added digitally. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo of Jack London's best-loved masterpieces, in their entirety. Call of the Wild tells a compelling tale of adventure during the Yukon Gold Rush, and fully captures the unquenchable spirit of Buck, a kidnapped dog trying to survive in the harshest of environments. Also set in Alaska, the powerful White Fang follows the often savage life of the magnificent title character, a mix of wolf and dog.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OUATB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48720433742079,"sku":"*R0128793*","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0487\/5550\/7364\/files\/11427863482687.jpg?v=1781810940","url":"https:\/\/shop.onceuponatimebooks.com\/products\/the-call-of-the-wild-and-white-fang-2","provider":"Once Upon a Time Books AR","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
