Josephine | 3 comments I'm looking for a book (what else?) that was in my grandparents' collection; I think it was purchased for my aunt (possibly one of their other children) so it would have been published sometime between 1935 and 1955, probably mid-range.

All I remember now is that it was about a boy, approximately twelve, who found a lost whippet. The dog turns out to be a lost racing dog, possibly stolen, and is named "Stardust" (nicknamed 'Dusty').

Thanks in advance,
JJ

Josephine | 3 comments Lisa: Possibly. I'll see what I can find out elsewhere; certainly the title sounds plausible. (The book itself is long gone, and I'm not sure where.)

Edit: yes! it is. I found an image (and description) for a book listed on ABEbooks. Too bad it's $175. I mean...I'd like a copy but not that much.
