In the heart of a snowy village, four-year-old Arthur embarks on a magical adventure with his loyal companion, Achilles—a towering, brindle-coated German Shepherd with a heart as big as his size. Driven by love for a sister he never got to meet, Arthur sets out to climb a distant mountain, carrying a golden flower he finds blooming against all odds in the frozen wilderness.
Along the way, Arthur’s kindness and courage shine as he and Achilles help animals in need, brave the dangers of the forest, and face challenges that test their bond. Guided by his faith and a deep sense of family, Arthur brings heartfelt gifts—a treasured wooden toy, a handmade rosary, and his prayers—to honor Philomena, the sister he knows only in spirit.
With vivid landscapes, touching moments, and the warmth of friendship, Arthur and Achilles is a tender tale about love that crosses all boundaries. Perfect for young readers and families, this story gently weaves themes of bravery, compassion, and the enduring power of sibling bonds.
