THE BOOK OF JOE About a Dog and His Man

The late actor Vincent Price’s relationships with animals provide the vehicle for loving reminiscences in this reissue of a 1961 effort, beautifully and sensitively narrated by his daughter, Victoria. Joe was a sweet mutt with some behavioral problems whom Price adopted at a sad period in his personal life. Stories abound of all sorts of creatures well known to Price’s household and film sets: Goats, apes, camels, and roosters are among the many. Brief biographical and career insights are shared sporadically within the context of each animal-related memory. The articulate yet conversational writing is performed with style and affection. This audiobook is a winner. W.A.G. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2016]
