Summary: Wealth of Information about APT
Review: I discovered Albert Payson Terhune's books back in high school and fell in love with all his collies. I scoured all the old second hand book stores in San Francisco to find more of his stories and even though I've now passed the half century mark I still enjoy his tales.

While they might not be "classic" literature, they have a wonderful ability to pull you into the tale immediately.

I always wondered what Mr. Terhune was like in life - and this biography does a great job in filling in the details.

Mr. Terhune imbued his books with a genuine love of his subject - and of course, his love for his beautiful home, Sunnybank.

Mr. Litvag has produced a very readable bio about a larger-than-life writer - and has done it with style and flair - and love.
Highly recommended!

Review: The title says it. Most biographers of Terhune consider this work negative, if not sensationalist in it's attitude towards the author and his life. Worthwhile in it's detail -- topics not often covered -- but, disjointed by the writer's point of view.
