The bold and vigorous writing style of Mr. Kirk is ideally suited to the narrative of sport. Its free swing aids greatly in making 'White Monarch and the Gas-House Pup' one of the thoroughly satisfying books in dog literature. At the time of the first publication two cautious critics agreed the story is one of the most striking yet done in America - a statement which finds a hearty echo in many who are neither cautious or critics, but who do love the rousing yarn.
