A shaggy dog story for children of all ages...

  Pomeranian Bitch and Puppy by Thomas Gainsborough, circa 1777 © Tate, London. The dogs in this most sensitively observed, tender and fluffy of all canine portraits belonged to the painter’s good friend, the musician Carl Friedrich Abel.

A heart-warming tale for children written by LaVonna Moore about the rescue of a young Great Pyrenees dog who becomes the guardian angel and protector of her human family:

I am sorry to have interrupted her; she is rather lovely, rather to be loved and written about than briefly employed as a cover girl.

All roads in this land lead to Pemberley. Jane Austen, the prosaic revolutionary, waits quietly, with gloves and bonnet on, at the crossroads of 18th century and modern novels. The bonnet conceals the expression in her eyes, which isn't quiet at all.
