Reseña del editor:

The classic tale of man and man's best friend, by the great naturalist. From the heart of Alaska comes a tale at once harrowing, and uplifting. Travel with the great adventurer John Muir as he takes his most memorable journey. Stickeen is one of the most popular stories in Alaska, one of the most touching of animal stories, and a truly great adventure for the whole family. This is a compelling story of the developing relationship between Muir and an aloof, unfriendly little dog, Stickeen. After becoming stranded on the glacier, they reach safety with the help of a courageous trip over an ice bridge. Stickeen's aloofness is then replaced by rapturous emotion and his unfriendliness toward Muir turns to loyalty and adoration.

"I have known many dogs, and many a story I could tell of their wisdom and devotion; but to none do I owe so much as to Stickeen. At first the least promising and least known of my dog-friends, he suddenly became the best known of them all. Our storm-battle for life brought him to light, and through him as through a window I have ever since been looking with deeper sympathy into all my fellow mortals.”
