From the dust "This long overdue first biography was worth the wait. A warm, revealing, honest portrait of the man who was a legend in his own time. Sure to please the several generations of Terhune admirers-- Marjorie Farnsworth, Editor of Dogs Magazine. Also---' Unquestionably the most popular writer about animals since Kipling, Terhune set his stories at Sunnybank, his stately and beloved country home in northern New Jersey, where he raised dogs. To have a Sunnybank-bred collie became the dream of almost every would-be dog owner in America. Like his own books, the story of Terhune's life is a pleasure for grown-ups and youngsters alike-- and a special joy for all who have savored the companionship of a faithful dog.'
