Product Description

Beloved classic recounts the haunting, sentimental tale of Nello, a young boy who aspires to be a painter, and his beloved Patrasche, a Belgian work dog—both of whom endure poverty, hunger, cruelty and rejection up to their tragic, bittersweet end. Newly reset in large, easy-to-read type.

Download Description
No one knew it. He as little as any. No one knew it. Only indeed Patrasche, who, being with him always, saw him draw with chalk upon the stones any and every thing that grew or breathed, heard him on his little bed of hay murmur all manner of timid, pathetic prayers to the spirit of the great Master; watched his gaze darken and his face radiate at the evening glow of sunset or the rosy rising of the dawn.
