[Daniel Fattibene · Rating 5 out of 5]

It is generally agreed that Corey Ford's best and most unforgettable story is "The Road to Tinkhamtown", and it is the last one in this anthology: They saved the best for last. The version of “The Road to Tinkhamtown” in this book is the simplest, cleanest, and purest I have read. Although the story was written decades before the concept of Rainbow Bridge came into being, it epitomizes the idea of meeting your dog at the bridge and joining him in the hereafter; the final few paragraphs capture this with exquisite beauty.
