THE BOOK

Author's note —Although the Cricket Adventure Series will feature a Cardigan Corgi as the main character inspired by the author's own Millie, it is not intended to detract in any way from the other beautiful Welsh breeds with whom Cricket will interact during her globe trotting experiences. In Cricket's future travels the reader will find his or her favorite breed featured as an integral part in some of Cricket's unending schemes. The personality and versatility of the Welsh breeds gave the author great opportunity to include them in the Cricket Adventures.
