Jan: a Dog and a Romance, by A. J. Dawson. Jan is the offspring of Finn (an Irish wolfhound) and Desdemona (a bloodhound). This is the story of his beginnings…
Alex John Dawson (1872-1951) was an Australian. His most famous book is probably Finn the Wolfhound. He also has a book Jan, son of Finn with a later date than this book. It may be the same book with a different title — perhaps to capitalize on the popularity of Finn?
This book was copyright 1915, and has a lovely frontispiece by Norman Rockwell, who was about 19 when it was published.
