About this title

About the Author:

David Duncan Douglas is often credited with being the first great photojournalist. He was a distinguished Life Magazine photographer and chronciled both World War II and The Korean War in pictures. He chronicled the life and work of friend and neighbor Pablo Picasso in a series of stunning books. Duncan lives in Castellara, France.

Review:

Many dog-lovers will find pleasure in a spectacularly illustrated book called Yo-Yo: Kidnapped in Provence by David Douglas Duncan, the renowned photo-journalist. Duncan's little Norwich terrier was abducted for ransom near Marseilles by a professional car thief. The affair drew considerable media attention in France, where Duncan is especially well known as Picasso's favorite photographer. This was possibly the best-photographed dog hunt in history; after 19 days Duncan got his pet back intact (and half a pound heavier!), leaving everyone happy, including even the nefarious dognapper. The pictures are endearing and the text is charming. -- Parade Magazine, December 5, 1999
