About

The illustrations for Finders Keepers display great originality in style and offer a combination of boldness and vitality of line. The story of two dogs, who unearth a bone and cannot decide to which it should belong, is filled with rollicking humor. An unobtrusive moral reflects its traditional quality and the artist in each illustration has captured all of the drollery and action inherent in the story.
