THE JOURNEY OF TAPIOLA by Robert Nathan

THE JOURNEY OF TAPIOLA

By

Pub Date: Oct. 31st, 1938
Publisher: Knopf

A slender story of a timid little Yorkshire terrier who elects to be a hero, and who leaves the comforts of home for adventure, in company with Richard, the canary, who has set his heart on opera. They meet up with a misanthropic rat on the dump barge, and the trio go to Statan Island, where they find life not all they had hoped. Not a very satisfying fantasy, nor yet spontaneously Nathan.
