"In The Last Will and Testament of an Extremely Distinguished Dog, famed playwright Eugene O'Neill movingly articulates the ache all dog owners feel as the end of a special pet's life approaches. His timeless elegy, written in the early 1940s about his dog, Silverdene Emblem O'Neill - known as Blemie by those who loved him - eases the pain of this sad parting with poignant reminders of the joy and happiness only a loving and loyal dog can provide. This lovely edition is illustrated by the award-winning quilt maker Adrienne Yorinks. Her twenty-five original hand-stitched quilts portray the life of one special Border collie and perfectly complement the text with their mood and magic. "--BOOK JACKET.
