A Mile from Ellington Station

(4) K-3 Mysterious stranger Marley is staying at Ellington Lodge in exchange for doing the painting that lodge-owner Preston has been ignoring; Preston has been concentrating on his checkers winning streak. When Marley beats Preston at checkers, sore-loser Preston convinces his friends that the dog is a sorcerer, and the rumor spreads out of control. The illustrations lack variety, but fans of Egan's animal characters will fall under Marley's spell.
