A valet and his master are journeying on horseback, whiling away the weary hours with many a strange anecdote, droll story and tale of love and vengeance that never fails to astonish or surprise. The author employs his talents of eighteenth century French philosopher, dramatist, critic and storyteller to weave into this tapestry of fictions his reflections on Jack's fatalism - everything that happens here below was written Up-there on the great scroll of Destiny; on the human need for love and friendship, dominance and pets - dogs in particular; and on the relation of art to reality - all weighty subjects treated in a comic vein with profound human understanding.
