""Kazan"" is a thrilling and heart-wrenching tale of adventure and friendship in the untamed wilderness.On that clear and stormless night following the days of plague and famine, a hundred thousand hungry creatures came out from their retreats to hunt for food. For eighteen hundred miles east and west and a thousand miles north and south, slim gaunt-bellied creatures hunted under the moon and the stars. Something told Kazan and Gray Wolf that this hunt was on, and never for an instant did they cease their vigilance. At last they lay down at the edge of the spruce thicket, and waited. Gray Wolf muzzled Kazan gently with her blind face.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
