Hardcover. Etat : VG Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : VG Very Good. First Edition. Octavo, [23cm/9.25inches], full gilt-embossed cloth w/ mylar-protected dust jacket, pp. , indexed. Illustrated with b-w halftones and colour plates, &ct. Please feel free to inquire as to particulars and/or additional photographs. . Publisher's Weekly noted: "First published as a limited edition by the Yolla Bolly Press, this brief and charming novel by essayist/epicure Fisher tells with childlike esprit of an American family's residence in Aix-en-Provence. The mother and her saucily precocious children, Anne and Mary, get to know the town with the staunch help of Boss--``the doggiest dog anyone ever saw''--a stray with an incurable craving for pistachio nougat. The Boss Dog has an enviable knowledge of Aix's low and high life, and guides the three travelers through crowds and toward restaurants. He is ``a large fellow with a fat rear, mostly the kind of terrier called yippy, part Fox and part Boston and part Mystery, a rather rat-nosed, narrow-eyed, undistinguished dog esthetically.'' Fisher's inimitable observations of place, taste and character give readers vicarious encounters with the fountains, cafes, festivals and food of Aix, while she lyrically--and nervily--captures the lives of Americans abroad. The droll accident of being outsiders, and its fatigues, have rarely been so delicately evident in fiction.".

Paperback. Etat : Near fine. First edition. 104pp. Quarto [25.5 cm] in decorative wraps with matching endpapers, with handmade paper jacket, in publisher's thin board slipcase. Light edgewear and a few small stains to slipcase. Copy number 71 of 190 numbered copies bound in sewn paper wrappers, from a total edition of 255 copies. One of the great prose stylists of the 20th century, Mary Frances Kennedy Fisher wrote almost exclusively about food, and so never achieved mainstream literary recognition. Food, however, is never just food, and Fisher's delectable and penetrating work speaks directly to the human experience. Boss Dog appears at first to be a departure for Fisher; it is not explicitly concerned with gastronomy, and its cannily fanciful toneâ"reminiscent of E. Nesbitâ"is appealing to children, although this is not precisely a "children's book." Once begun, though, Boss Dog reveals itself to be Fisher through and through, from the careful descriptions of carefully chosen meals to the sense of universal import that hangs about the quotidian. Although presented as fiction, Boss Dog, like nearly all of Fisher's work, is largely autobiographical. She and her two young daughters spent a year or so in Aix-en-Provence in the 1950s, and these six stories tell of their time there, enlivened by the exploits of the "very interesting dog" of the title. Unlike Fisher's only novel (the surprisingly ineffectual Not Now but Now), which suffered from her attempt to refocus her powers on a subject other than gastronomy, Boss Dog is a fully realized and wholly satisfying tale, with much to offer both Fisher's fans and those new to her work. It is also one of the last books Fisher wrote before her death in 1992, with much of her later published work consisting of journal entries and anthologies of older writings.
