A dog who belongs to himself

Crispin’s Crispian is a dog with an unusual name and a clear sense of independence: he belongs to himself. When he runs into a little boy who also belongs to himself, the story brings together two characters introduced through that shared idea. Margaret Wise Brown’s picture-book story was first published in 1952 and is illustrated by Garth Williams.

Book overview

A favorite story for generations of readers, originally published in 1952.

Once upon a time there was a funny dog named Crispin's Crispian. He was named Crispin's Crispian because he belonged to himself.
So begins the story of a dog who runs bang into a little boy, who also belongs to himself. This quirky story--with breathtaking illustrations by Garth Williams--is one of Margaret Wise Brown's best.
