The Call of the Wild" (1903) and "White Fang" (1906) are world famous animal stories. Set in Alaska during the Klondike Gold Rush of the late 1890s, The "Call of the Wild" is about Buck, the magnificent cross-bred offspring of a St Bernard and a Scottish Collie.

Tower bridge
Tower Bridge is one of five London bridges owned and operated by the Bridge House Estates Foundation, controlled by the City of London Corporation. The bridge consists of two bridge towers, interconnected by two horizontal walkways, designed to withstand the forces of horizontal tension created by the suspended sections of the bridge on the sides of the tower. From 1977 until the restoration of the 2010s, the bridge was painted red, white and blue.
