Plot summary

The book concerns a schoolteacher who is researching the life of one of his favorite children's book authors. He is warmly, and unexpectedly, greeted by the author's adult daughter. All seems well until a dog begins talking to him, as the line between the author's fantasy world and the reality of the schoolteacher's life blurs.
