Written by James Herriot, and illustrated by Ruth Brown

Just what you would expect from Herriot: a lovely, rather meandering tale of a stray dog in the market. The story was perhaps a little too meandering for a three-and-a-half year old, but Grams sure liked it.

The beautiful water-color-like illustrations show us mid-century Yorkshire in its glory, and maintain the cozy mood (and happy ending) of the story. (4 stars)
