Book Description
Sir Romeo Beau is a sweet and unique basset hound service-work doggie. In recent years, basset hounds have increasingly been used as therapy dogs because of their naturally gentle and good-natured dispositions. However, because of their stubborness, they are rarely used as service-work dogs. Sir Romeo Beau knows how to use this unique trait and is one of the first basset hound service-work doggies in the United States. When James and Rosemary adopted Sir Romeo, they quickly found that their new family member was extra special. He had a natural inclination toward the tasks that would help Rosemary, who copes with disabilities, function more safely and confidently in her daily life. Sir Romeo Beau went on to become an officially trained service-work doggie, trained by By Your Side Inc., a nonprofit organization. In this book, and the others that his daddy is helping him write, he seeks to educate children and adults about the important work he does. Follow Sir Romeo as he works to help keep his mommy safe and bring awareness to the joys and struggles that officially trained service-work doggies deal with every day! A rhyming picture book for children, The Adventures of Sir Romeo Beau entertains while at the same time teaches about the important role officially trained service-work dogs play in the world.

Book Description
Stories By Famous Authors illustrated was a 1950s, 13 issues series of adaptations from literature. Stories were usually 32 pages with two or three text stories at the end of the issue. Issues #1 through #5 were reprints of Fast Fiction with different covers, put out a year earlier. Stories By Famous Authors has some great history (and covers) on it's front page, "This series was first produced by Seaboard Publishing as Fast Fiction and provided competition for the more well known series, Classics Illustrated. The series used some of the same artists as that series, including the well known and very well regarded Henry Carl Keifer. Clearly Albert Kanter, the Father of the Classics Illustrated series wasn’t impressed to have another publisher muscling in on his idea and was also angered that Keifer was also churning out some of the Seaboard stories - Hamlet and She refer - and so Kanter bought the upstart in 1951...In fact, if you own The Red Badge of Courage, number 98 in the Classics Illustrated series, then you have what was planned to be number 14 in the series from Stories by Famous Authors and was purchased by Gilberton at the same time as the purchase of the publishing rights for the 13 issued. That is why The Red Badge is only 32 pages long..."
