This is a really fun story that is beautifully illustrated, would absolutely recommend to anyone that “likes little dogs, silly stories and happy endings”.
It should be noted however that the story is based in Europe and not the Far East as I had expected having read the “blurb” about the author and his experiences as a Japanese Prisoner of War.
