Making Up With Mr. Dog (Illustrated)

by Albert Bigelow Paine

Overview

Making Up With Mr. Dog is a collection of eight short stories about the animals who live in the Hollow Tree. A central theme that runs through the stories is the relationship between the residents of the Hollow Tree and Mr. Dog. The residents have always been afraid of Mr. Dog because he belongs to Mr. Man. Mr. Man has hunted most of the residents for a long time, and Mr. Dog has helped him. But, Mr. Dog is truly sorry for his actions and really wants to become a part of the Hollow Tree community. It's not easy for the residents to trust him after all this time, and Mr. Dog is going to have to work very hard to become accepted. A highlight of the book are the 31 illustrations by J. M. Condé.

About the Author

Albert Bigelow Paine (10 July 1861 – 9 April 1937) was an American author and biographer best known for his work with Mark Twain. Paine was a member of the Pulitzer Prize Committee and wrote in several genres, including fiction, humour, and verse.

Paine was born in New Bedford, Massachusetts and was moved to Bentonsport, Iowa when one year old. From early childhood until early adulthood, Paine lived in the village of Xenia in southern Illinois; here he received his schooling. At the age of twenty, he moved to St. Louis, where he trained as a photographer, and became a dealer in photographic supplies in Fort Scott, Kansas. Paine sold out in 1895 to become a full-time writer, moving to New York. He spent most of his life in Europe, including France where he wrote two books about Joan of Arc. This work was so well received in France that he was awarded the title of Chevalier in the Légion d'honneur by the French government. Paine was married to Dora and had three daughters.
