About this book
Chestnut gathering, a homemade cave and potatoes cooked over a fire fill Ernest and Jack's October morning in the Connecticut town called Boytown. A passing hunter and his English setter bring dogs into this world of woods, ponds and boyhood projects. Walter A. Dyer's children's novel connects those outdoor pleasures with a growing interest in breeds, kennels and the responsibilities that accompany keeping an animal.
The boys later follow the Willowdale dogs' progress at a New York show through newspaper reports. Their excitement becomes a project of their own when Herbie Pierson proposes a local dog show, and a committee begins looking for a suitable hall. Details about entry fees, judging and dogs' condition give the story a practical side. Published in 1918, it offers young readers a picture of friendship built around shared interests, while animal lovers can enjoy the attention paid to individual dogs and the community surrounding them.
