“Book Descriptions: These stories introduce English-language readers to the detective Bobby Potemkine and his musical dog Djinn—and they come to us offering, among other things, mystery, romance, maritime-adventure, and a very angry noodle named Auguste.
“With the calm strangeness of dreams, and humor deepened by a hint of melancholy, these wonderful stories fool around on the frontiers of the imagination. All musical dogs, woolly crabs, children and other detectives of the not-yet-invented should own this book.” —SHELLEY JACKSON
“Humane, impossible, homely and alien, Draeger’s extraordinary stories are as close to dreams as fiction can be.” —CHINA MIÉVILLE” DRIVE
