The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent shape, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
Thane is the name of Brant Hildreth's beautiful corn-colored collie. And it is Thane who starts off this exciting Terhune story at such a lively pace by saving lovely Kay Cormick's life from the charge of an infuriated bull.
Thane's master is the crusading editor of the near-defunct Bugle, and Kay is the sister of a local politician against whom the Bugle is crusading. Brant and Kay, in the old days, had been in love, only to be separated by the autocratic stand taken by her brother. This is the story of how Brant through the pages of his fighting newspaper brings an end to the corrupt gang which has been bleeding Preakness County white, and of how Thane fighting loyally beside his master, helps to reunite the lovers in the end.
The setting of Collie to the Rescue is the countryside not far from Sunnybank where the author and his famous collies lived. In this story Thane will take his place in the hearts of Mr. Terhune's readers already occupied by Lad, Bruce, Wolf, Gray Dawn, and all the other beloved Sunnybank collies.
