 The Prince of Willoughby REIGNS! March 28, 2007
Jeannine C. Towler (Charlottesville, VA)
The Prince of Willoughby by Karen Quillen is a delightful read on various levels. For younger readers, it is an exciting canine adventure about the kidnapping of Princess Moncesca Francesca and the valiant efforts of her betrothed, Sawyer, the Prince of Willoughby, to rescue her from her unscrupulous captors, the Mahoney Gang. On a more sophisticated level, politically-astute readers will recognize a suspicious resemblance between the canine characters and certain well-known public figures such as Carl Rover, the Reverend Jim Barker, and Cane Corso Rice. Ms Quillen has created a tale filled with adventure, humor, and pathos that concludes with a plea to all to speak out against puppy mills and to respect our canine companions by providing them with the care and attention they deserve.

This is a gem of a book on so many levels: humor, pathos, suspense, and just good geniune warmth! The setting of it was unexpected and truly delightful, and there are serious messages in it for all who care about dogs. I didn't want to finish it because then there would be no more of it to look forward to the next day -- now that I HAVE finished it, I am hoping there will be another book to look forward to in the future from this author.

I got home and mailed the books off to our family members especially who are dog lovers. I found the first part where Meadow came in to meet Patty Pit. Then I started to read your book. I could not put your book down. I was laughing out loud and what a wonderful story. I can't remember the last time I just couldn't put a book down. We can't wait until the next book!! Thanks for writing such a wonderful and magical book!!

I loved this book. I stayed up all night to read it and laughed more than I have laughed in a long time. I quickly became attached to the characters and could not wait to find out how it ended. This book was a nice transition from Marley and Me. If you love dogs you must read The Prince of Willoughby.
