Inspired by Gogol's famous story "The Overcoat," this version has a different ending: a boy's coat is stolen after he brags about it, but a stray dog helps him recover it. With artfully crafted prose, a carefully considered design, and rich paintings that, in style and in subject, evoke their nineteenth-century setting, Fagan and Ricci have created a handsome volume.
