Editorial Reviews

Review

" Sometimes amusing, sometimes exciting, sometimes whimsical, the book is thoroughly enjoyable from beginning to end." --The Saturday Review of Literature "

From the Publisher

Part of our Forgotten Classics series, Terhune's WOLF, with a foreword by Wayne Lewis, is just as exciting and compelling a story now as it was back in 1925 at the time of its original publication.

5.0 out of 5 stars The ugly duckling of dog stories, November 21, 2009

This review is from: Wolf (Paperback)

Wolf is different. He isn't like other Collies; he is a misfit and yet he matures into a beautiful and noble champion. He is the ugly duckling turned swan of the dog world. Child or adult, you can't help but be moved by the personality of Terhunes dogs, his magical "Place" Sunnybank where they all live and the never-ending adventures. Wolf is thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish.

I admit that Terhunes books about Collies inspired me from childhood. You don't own Collies, they own you and I have been owned by three Collies in my life. Needless to say when I wrote "Jack: The Christmas Collie" I was undeniably inspired by the magic, charm and enchantment of "The Place", the Collies and the special way in which Terhune seemed to be able to tell us what is inside their heads and hearts.

Read this book. It is thoroughly enjoyable!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best Terhune books I have ever read!, October 26, 2007

This is probably one of the best books, of the few favorites of mine, that I have ever read. I have alomost nothing but praise for this book. The only dissapointing thing in this book it that 1 or 2 chapters were axactly like that of which Lad from Lad: a dog had. That one chapter (I think it was one) was a little boring concidering but so far it's been very excellent and I know it will stay that way. I don't kniw why it says age group 4-8. That it completely wrong. It is for all ages. I hate when Amazon screws up because then we get false information. I recommend this book to everyone.

...and knew my granddaughter would also love these books as she is a dog lover. Great for ages 10 to 14...but most adults would enjoy these books also. Not easy to find the whole series. I hope that Amazon has more of his published works available in the future.
