Summary

A fox terrier makes history as a Hollywood star, circus attraction... and the Fuhrer's lap dog.

Sirius Summary

Sirius by Jonathan Crown

In Berlin, he was named Levi: a good Jewish dog with a good Jewish name. When his owners fled to America, he became Hercules: star of the silver screen in Hollywood's golden age. Then he caught the eye of Hitler, who called him Hansi: a pure-bred lapdog, privy to all the Fuhrer's secrets. But he was known to the Resistance as Sirius: the insider who could bring peace to a world at war. SIRIUS: the little dog who almost changed history.

Sirius Reviews

Crown has written a lovely novel about Nazi Germany. The success of his light approach to serious subject matter owes much to Sirius... but it's clear that beneath the comic veneer, a grave imperative drives his storytelling' * Independent *
Delightful... Crown has presented a thoroughly enjoyable story which dances gracefully between comedy and tragedy, all the while retelling history as it could have been, and almost was' * Women24 (South Africa) *
Unique and unforgettable... a genuinely sweet and uplifting novel' * Catholic Herald *
Rarely a book is so intelligent, funny and cute at the same time * Kultur Spiegel *
Crown successfully pulls off the high-wire act of giving the horror of the Nazi era a tragicomic turn -- Kleine Zeitung
For those who like wit, heart and wordly wisdom * Bildde *
