Review # 1 was written on 2015-07-01 00:00:00 Gggfg Ffgfdffdctgc More than 1300 pages, a lot of foot notes, culture introductions and endless references makes this tome a condensed library on ancient literature. The selection is very good, strongly based on western culture, but with some good eastern texts. More, but in spanish on: SWR

Review # 2 was written on 2014-06-18 00:00:00 Frank Forbes Great collection of dog stories by many distinguished authors including some personal favorites: Steinbeck, Ford, Roosevelt. This collection runs the gamut. There are hunting stories, stories about dogs in the armed services, funny stories, and sad ones too. The book closes with a story that always hits home, the inimitable The Road to Tinkhamtown by Corey Ford; quite possibly the best dog story I've read. That the story features a dear departed Setter makes it especially bittersweet. A couple stories that stood out = Buffalo Hunt ~ J.A. Hunter, Random Thoughts on Dogs ~ Steinbeck, Your Boy and His Dog ~ Robert Benchley, With the Cougar Hounds ~ Theodore Roosevelt, Parapups ~ Corey Ford. A wonderful collection for any dog lover.
