Books, Manuscripts
Tassen has always been a one-man dog. When his human companion, Major Thorkildsen, dies, Tassen and Mrs Thorkildsen are left alone. Tassen mourns Major by eating too many treats, and Mrs T. by drinking too much. But the two unexpectedly find common ground in researching Roald Amundsen's expedition to the South Pole led by a pack of intrepid dogs. But the quiet days Tassen and Mrs. T spend together at the library researching the explorer's arctic adventure are disrupted by the arrival of her son and daughter in-law. Eager to move in to the Major's spacious house, they plan to send Mrs. T to a nursing home. As he contemplates his own fate, Tassen shudders to think what might happen to him.
