Prince Jan St. Bernard

Forrestine Cooper Hooker wrote nine novels for young adults based on her life growing up in the frontier army and as a ranch woman when she married into the family of the largest ranch in southern Arizona. Published in 1921, this delightful children's story tells how a dog made for the land of snow and ice fares in a land without snow. The story begins; "Prince Jan was a fuzzy, woolly puppy with clumsy paws and fat, round body covered with tawny hair. His brown eyes looked with loving good-will at everything and everybody."
