Where the Blue Begins

Where the Blue Begins

This wonderful story by Christopher Morley is the humourous tale of an anthropomorphised dog called Mr. Gissing and his search for truth, god and the meaning of life. Christopher Morley was a well known American journalist, novelist and essayist. His works include The Eighth Sin (1912), Parnassus on Wheels (1917), Haunted Bookshop (1919), Pipefuls (1920) and many others. This book, Where the Blue Begins was originally published in 1922 and is here republished with a new biography of the author. A delicious satirical fantasy, in which humanity wears a dog collar.'Mr. Morley is a master of consequent inconsequence. His humour and irony are excellent, and his satire is only the more salient for the delicate and ingenuous fantasy in which it is set.' Manchester Guardian.
