About this audiobook
Dicky Brook is almost nine, and nothing goes right. His lessons are a struggle, and his father, a busy country doctor, despairs of him. After a bad day, Dicky looks at his dog Jasper, who has no lessons at all, and wishes he were a dog. That night he gets his wish. Desmond MacCarthy's story was included in The Flying Carpet, an anthology edited by Lady Cynthia Asquith in 1925. Martine Baruch reads it in thirty minutes. A funny and thoughtful story for children and for anyone who has wanted a day off from being a person.
