This wonderful story by Christopher Morley is the humourous tale of an anthropomorphised dog called Mr. Gissing and his search for truth, god and the meaning of life. Christopher Morley was a well known American journalist, novelist and essayist. His works include The Eighth Sin (1912), Parnassus on Wheels (1917), Haunted Bookshop (1919), Pipefuls (1920) and many others. This book, Where the Blue Begins was originally published in 1922 and is here republished with a new biography of the author. A delicious satirical fantasy, in which humanity wears a dog collar.'Mr. Morley is a master of consequent inconsequence. His humour and irony are excellent, and his satire is only the more salient for the delicate and ingenuous fantasy in which it is set.' Manchester Guardian.

About the Author Christopher Darlington Morley (1890 1957), American novelist, journalist, poet, and essayist, is the author of more than 100 novels, books of essays, and volumes of poetry. He was a Rhodes scholar at Oxford, and after returning to America, he was an editor for "Ladies Home Journal" and wrote for the "New York Evening Post" and other newspapers. He was one of the founders of the "Saturday Review of Literature", and as a fan of the Sherlock Holmes stories, he helped to found the Baker Street Irregulars, a group dedicated to the study of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle s Sherlock Holmes works. He was also one of the first judges for the Book-of-the-Month Club.

I first read it in childhood and found it to be entertaining, much like Alice in Wonderland.Many (30!) years later I felt a desire to revisit the story and, only recently, was able to buy a copy through a Used Book dealer in Maine. It was worth the search!The story says so many different things, things the We ALL need to hear, when read with adult's eyes. The clearest message of all... go ahead and search the world for your dream of "something better" - but don't be suprised when you find that "something" right at home!If you get a copy of this book share it with those you care about... especially your children.
14 of 15 people found the following review helpful. One of the best little books ever written By Amazon Customer I have liked Christopher Morley's writing from my first experience. The first one I read was, The Haunted Bookshop and Where the Blue Begins is just as good, but in a different way. It seems to be a tale for children, but when you really read, you find that it is Mr. Morley's search for God and what is important in life. There are many memorable lines to enjoy for a lifetime.
3 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Genial and Accomplished By Pop Bop Christopher Morley, (1890-1957), is remembered primarily as an essayist, novelist and poet whose most well known works, ("Parnassus on Wheels" and "The Haunted Bookshop"), followed the experiences of bookseller Roger Mifflin. He was one of the founders of "The Saturday Review of Books", and collaborated with the likes of Don Marquis, (of "Archy and Mehitabel" fame), and Ogden Nash. He was very much a man of his literary, New York City times and was known to be gregarious and good humored. All of that is abundantly evident in this book, which is a testament to his enduring appeal."Where the Blue Begins" was written in 1922, a few years after the Mifflin novels, and is generally categorized as a "satirical novel", but that's a bit harsh given its rather genial tone. The characters are all recognizable human types, but presented in the physical guise of dogs. This allows for a great deal of sly humor involving tale wagging, wet noses, and the like, and some even more subtle jokes allowing dog species to stand in as character comments; (what species of dog would you choose to be the local vicar?). When you think about it, T.S. Eliot did the same sort of thing for cats, and I'd actually read Henry James if it had more cows and horses.Anyway, our hero, Gissing, goes gallivanting off to seek new horizons, (where the blue begins), and has adventures. The results are amusing and instructive. This can be read as a child's adventure tale or as a more serious contemplative work, depending on one's inclinations and situation.However you approach it, this is an accomplished work by a gifted author at the height of his powers. It suffers not at all from being dated; it may even work better now for that reason. Certainly a cheerful choice as a why-not? flyer.Please note that I found this book while browsing Amazon Kindle freebies. I have no connection at all to the publisher of this book.
