Where the Blue Begins (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781026080207)

"Where the Blue Begins" is a whimsical and profound philosophical fable that follows the adventures of Gissing, a canine protagonist who lives a life of human comforts and middle-class responsibilities. Dissatisfied with the routine of his domestic existence, Gissing embarks on a spiritual and physical quest to find the elusive "blue"-a metaphor for the ultimate meaning and horizon of life.

Through Gissing's eyes, Christopher Morley satirizes the foibles of early 20th-century society, exploring themes of commercialism, religion, and the restless search for contentment. Whether he is managing a floor in a bustling department store or serving as a cabin boy on a ship, Gissing's journey is filled with both humor and deep introspection.

"Where the Blue Begins" remains a celebrated work of literary fantasy, blending anthropomorphic charm with a serious meditation on the human (and canine) condition. It is a timeless story for readers who enjoy allegorical journeys and the intersection of the mundane with the mystical.
