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!
Here is a companion volume to place beside The Further Adventures of Lad—a volume worthy of its predecessor, and a fresh tribute to the best-loved dog in contemporary fiction. It is a series of adventures in which the famous collie is the central figure, with Sunnybank and the Jersey woods for a delightful background. And while Lad plays the lead he is given able support by a most engaging cast, which includes Rameses the Raccoon and Zat the Crow.
Mr. Terhune's keen understanding and appreciation of canine instinct and sixth sense, and his sympathetic interpretation of his four-footed friends, give to these stories all the appeal of human adventure and human courage. In addition he evokes from every reader that special sympathy which has existed between dog and man since the world's beginning.
