From Library Journal
According to Fisher's afterword, this tale is based on her sojourn in Aix-en-Provence with two young daughters in the early 1950s. The adventures of a proud if scruffy mongrel, the Boss Dog, serve as a pretext for an informal, fictionalized portrait of the southern French city and its denizens. As the recent Long Ago in France ( LJ 2/15/91) attests, Fisher is an elegant and accomplished stylist, but here she serves up more style than substance. The result is mildly diverting and will appeal to travelers, dog lovers, and fans of the author's other, more substantial works.
