A book that I have been waiting with bated breath to read. And still waiting. The Story of Edgar Sawtelle is about a mute boy Edgar who has an uncanny ability to communicate with his best friend - a dog. Set in rural Wisconsin, home of the author David Wroblewski, the tale is set in a farm in the early half of the 20th century, where the Sawtelle family raises a fictional breed of dogs. Various reviews have gone so far as to compare Edgar's dog to Shakespearean dimensions or the chorus from a Greek tragedy. Whatever it maybe, ultimately its the story of a boy and a dog. And these simple stories fascinate me more.
