Prepare to revisit the glamorous 1920s Jazz Age of <i>The Great Gatsby</i> and meet Nicholas, a gregarious Airedale Terrier whose arrival in a moneyed Long Island home unleashes complete and total chaos throughout the neighbourhood. <p/>Verdun Belle, the lady of the title, is a silky-eared spaniel whose loyalty--and litter of puppies--rallies an entire American regiment fighting on the Western Front during World War I. Then there's Egon, a very large German Shepherd, accustomed to summering on the Côte d'Azur, and to managing the diaries and daily activities of his human charges, whether they want him to or not.
