After a summer with the Duncans at their home in Provence, Yo-Yo is kidnapped by gypsies in southern France, when the Duncans' car is stolen. The local gendarmes say there is little hope for the dog, but Duncan begins a major campaign, with posters and newspaper stories, that eventually produces restults. The gypsies contact Duncan and make a ransom demand. Because Duncan was the close friend and photo-biographer of Pablo Picasso--whom the gypsies loved--they agree to deal with him directly; and in a parking lot in Marseilles, the transaction is made: money for terrier. Yo-Yo returns home, sound and in good health.
Set against the exquisite background of Procence, this book is as charming as it is beautifully photographed. It will be cherished by all who love dogs or Provence.
