Wolf King

Wolf King was one of my favorite books because it was like what happend to wolves back in the old days. It was almost real about what happend to him. My favorite part of the bok was when he was making the biggest pack in Alberta. If you don't like this book you must not like wolves. Also Wilderness Champion is almost as good as the Wolf King. If you ever see this great book check it out!

the majesty of the black timber wolf

he was the leader of the pack and the men who would hunt him could not outwit him...then they poisoned his mate and in his grief he would lead the pack no more....alone he was even more desired by man and even more elusive. brooding and wise the wolf king dominates every chapter while an objective Johnny relates the tale.

Spell Binding

Not a reader in my youth, this book catured me and held on for years. I literally read the covers off then passed it on to my son who was equally captivated. Clearly, this book will never be an acclaimed literary masterpiece. But it should be. I've read a few more of the author's works. All are good but none live up to The Wolf King's realistic protrayal of life in the Alberta Wilderness. Written for a young reader, it still appeals to the adult. I recently reread it, and it swept me back to my youth. Highly recommended. I wish 6 stars were an option.

Old, but still influential

I read this book over and over again as a child and teenager. On a recent trip to my hometown I was surprised to see it still active in the small library there. It is a wonderful adventure story of a wolf in the Canadian wilderness, realistic and enthralling. It was the defining book of my childhood. As an adult nearing 50 I now live in the woods and am still intensely interested in nature; all because of The Wolf King (and its sequel, which is equally wonderful, Wilderness Champion). I know few people, if any, will read this review; but I would urge anyone who comes across The Wolf King to pick it up and give it a chance.
