About this title

From the Publisher:

TOWN AND COUNTRY, "Not So Shaggy Dog Tale" June 2005

When Lulu Ziminski, "a fashion maven extraordinaire who was world-famous for her flair," meets Henley, a Japanese Chin, at the Sweetie Pie Pet Shop, it's a perfect match. So begins HENLEY: A NEW YORK TAIL (Glitterati, $20), written and illustrated by Julie Muszynski. The book traces Henley's rise from adored pet to tast of the town: being discovered at Bergdorf Goodman, fleeing the "pupperazzi" and hobnobbing with the Plaza's Eloise. Inspired by the late real-life Henley, Muszynski's own Japanese Chin, the charming tale of friendship and loyalty enchants with its witty text, hand-drawn pictures, vintage and contemporary photos and lift-the-flap pages. Kathleen L. Kent

MODERN DOG MAGAZINE, October 2005

HENLEY is a delightful parable. Saucy, sophisticated, full of wit and fancy, it is the story of a Japanese Chin whose photogenic good looks soon become his claim to fame. As the Brad Pitt of dogs, he quickly rises to A-list status. Sought after and celebrated, Henley travels the world leaving behind his one true friend, Miss Lulu. Surrounded by adoration, Henley's travels become a lonely odyssey. Stardom and adventure eventually loose their appeal as Henley comes to realize what his heart truly desires.

HENLEY is a visual smorgasbord complete with a map, marvelous sketches, pop-ups, fold outs, and photographs of English and Japanese royalty with their Japanese Chins. Packed with alliteration, rhyme, play on words--"a madly marvelous and magnificent creature...everyone wanted his photograph"--this book is great fun. Linda Wilson

BRILLIANT MAGAZINE, November 2005

The pampered pup Henley, a Japanese Chin, is every bit as charming as he is adorable. Inhabiting an elite Manhattan circle that brings to mind the children's classic, "Eloise," Henley and his devoted owner Miss Lulu take on Bark Avenue, the Elizabeth Arfden Salon and the Fur Seasons. The appealing illustrations and unabashed cuteness make the book universally delightful.

GOTHAM MAGAZINE, July 2005

This grandly illustrated book offers a look into the spoiled life of Henley, the little dog that could. The story follows Henley's rise to fame--from his adoption by style icon Ms. Lulu Ziminski, to his discovery at Bergdorf Goodman by famous photographer Eduardo d'Eduardo d'Eduardo, to his relization that fame would never be enough to fill his heart the way Lulu did. Stuffed with New York landmarks and a special guest appearance by Plaz Hotel fixture Eloise and her dog, Weenie, the book will delight children and warm the hearts of even the iciest fashion mavens. (Glitterati Incorporated, $20) Ned Simmons and Will Morgan

From the Back Cover:

HENLEY: A NEW YORK TAIL follows the wildly glamorous adventures of an adorable black-and-white Japanese Chin, the most fashionable pup to have ever lived in New York City. When the elegant and very accessorized Ms. Lulu Ziminski, fashion maven extraordinaire, catches a glimpse of Henley upon entering the city's Sweetie Pie Pet Shop, it's love at first sight. Together, the two fabulous companions accompany one another on all sorts of cosmopolitan adventures, while Henley quickly finds himself the center of one another on all sorts of cosmopolitan adventures, while Henley, quickly finds himself the center of attention no matter where he goes.

Once catapulted into the pupperazzi's limelight, Henley can only think up, up, up and quickly begins his foray into the luxurious life of a celebrity. But what begins as a tour of all that glitters and glows quickly turns into a lesson that celebrates the heart, loyalty and friendship in its truest form.
