Out in the Park one day, children, I met a little boy not bigger than you are, who told me that he liked stories about a boy and a dog and the things they did together. He said that it must be a real boy and a real dog, and there must be other animals in the story, not great, big, fierce ones, but just neighborly ones-animals a boy might, perhaps, meet when he went for walks in the woods-and take pictures of and get to know. So this is the story of the way a real boy and a real dog spent their first summer in the real country; and the fun they had together.

"A recipe for happiness: four women, one medieval Italian castle, plenty of wisteria, and solitude as needed. The women at the center of The Enchanted April are alike only in their dissatisfaction with their everyday lives. They find each other-and the castle of their dreams-through a classified ad in a London newspaper one rainy February afternoon. The ladies expect a pleasant holiday, but they don't anticipate that the month they spend in Portofino will reintroduce them to their true natures and reacquaint them with joy. Now, if the same transformation can be worked on their husbands and lovers, the enchantment will be complete."

This is the first of several "Louis" titles. The author rekindles the spirit of some old favorites. Louis the rabbit is a bit more independent than Winnie-the-Pooh, and not as silly as some of the Dr. Seuss critters, but he has his winsome ways. This collection includes two story poems (of about 25 pages each) and eighteen short poems. The 88-page hardcover book is illustrated with line drawings by the author. It is designed and manufactured to be a treasured keepsake.
