How Nancy Jackson Married Kate Wilson and Other Tales of Rebellious Girls and Daring Young WomenBoyhood is the most familiar province of Mark Twain's fiction, but a reader doesn't have to look far to find feminine territory and it's not the perfectly neat and respectable place where you'd expect to see Becky Thatcher.

Boyhood is the most familiar province of Mark Twain's fiction, but a reader doesn't have to look far to find feminine territory--and it's not the perfectly neat and respectable place where you'd expect to see Becky Thatcher. This is a fictional world where rather than polishing their domestic arts and waiting for marriage proposals, girls are fighting battles, riding stallions, rescuing boys from rivers, cross-dressing, debating religion, hunting, squaring off against angry bulls, or, in what may be the most flagrant flouting of Victorian convention, marrying other women. This special edition brings together the best of Twain's stories about unconventional girls and women, from Eve as she names the animals in Eden to Joan of Arc to the transvestite farce of a young man named Alice from the Wapping district of London. Whatever they're doing--bopping boys with a baseball bat in Hellfire Hotchkiss, treating the author to a life story and a dogsled ride in The Esquimau Maiden's Romance, or sacrificing all for the sake of a horse, as in A Horse's Tale--these women and girls are surprising, provocative, and irresistibly entertaining in the great Twain tradition in which they now finally take their rightful place.Binding Type: Paperback

Not worth the money
The dog toy that I received looks nothing like the picture. There is no stuffing, the seams are on the outside leaving frayed fabric exposed and toy itself is tiny. It is being returned.

Owls love it too!
My friend who is a licensed Master Falconer currently has an Owl as her partner. The owl (a female) is playful and had stolen a dog toy a while back and played with it until she shredded it. She loves her squeaky fish and plays with it every morning, tossing it about or shaking it.

Bought this for my "nephew" dog who goes fishing with us every year in a boat. Keeps him busy. He loves it.

Sturdy but stitched weird
This is a sturdy toy with thick fabric. I love the printing and the rope inside. My coonhound destroys anything resembling plush in a heartbeat and this is perfect for her. The weird thing is the stitching. When making something with a pattern, you'd usually turn the outsides to each other, stitch it up, then turn it "inside out" (which is then actually right-side out) and stitch up the last bit after filling or whatever. This was just put together right-side out and stitched, so it looks kind of unfinished. The stitching is solid, no complaints there, but it keeps it from being a great gift, which it could be if it was stitched better. When I looked at the pictures of the different options I noticed some were stitched like mine and some "normally". Weird. Otherwise great.
