The manuscript for this book was part of a private collection of Gerald Sekoto's sketches, artwork, letters, and memoirs. Though the story was clearly written and illustrated as a personal exercise and possibly a sentimental souvenir of his childhood memories, it has not been published until now.
A simple and playful story, this is the tale of two troublesome dogs whose thieving ways take them to the far-away town of Porcupine Hills. There they meet all sorts of interesting characters, and continue their mischief until Billy Boy is caught red-handed. He is sent to jail, where he dreams about the kindness of others and comes to realize that good deeds are the true measure of freedom.
