In a society of anthropomorphised canines, Gissing, a debonair young dog
about town, adopts some orphaned puppies and begins to yearn for a more
meaningful existence than his pleasant life in suburban Canine Estates.
Simultaneously a fairy tale, a story about dogs, an allegory, and a
satire, this fantastic and thought-provoking story full of beauty and
meaning is worthy of a place on any bookshelf and is highly recommended
for fans and collectors of Morley's work. Christopher Morley (1890 -
1957) was an American novelist, poet, and journalist. Many antiquarian
books such as this are increasingly hard to come by and expensive, and
it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now in an
affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a
specially commissioned new biography of the author.
