Synopsis

Caesar’s Children and Other Stories is a collection of sixteen short stories by the author of Hannes Klar and The Senator's Son. On the surface, the stories deal with two topics. The first nine are about dogs; the last seven about education. The scope of the stories, however, goes considerably beyond those two subjects for through the stories, the author plumbs the depths of the human character and human society. Every emotion is explored; every literary technique employed. Here the reader will find laughter and tears, narrative and commentary, fact and fantasy in as wide a variety as can be found. Drawing on a lifetime’s work with students and animals, Dr. Porter has created a collection of fiction which the reader will not soon forget.
