Rubáiyát of Rover Khayyám

About the Book

"Awake! for Morning in the Bowl of White
Has loosed the Flood that sets my Ears upright."

With these stirring words, Rover Khayyám, the barking bard of Philadelphia, commences his spellbinding masterpiece, a canine counterpart to the well-known Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám. In seventy-five carefully crafted stanzas, Rover creates an indelible impression of what it means to be a dog and a mortal being. Translated from the original Dalmatian and insightfully annotated by Edward FitzHound, Rover's Rubáiyát is destined to be an instant classic to be cherished by anyone who is a dog or loves one.
