- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Valerie was my most treasured friend at Dartmouth—I feel like I am seeing myself in this story. (I’m sure every reader feels like that!!!) I even own a tiny white doglet, descended from the great show dog, “Caspar’s Rags!” Valerie is a charming and enchanting storyteller—whose own, true-life story reads like a fairy tale. This book is a rare delight!
