Troubled times and strife bring unknown opportunities to unlikely people, including opportunities that could change the world. This novel is both about things that did happen and things that might have happened. It will take you back in time to the early 1870s in the prosperous English city of London. Josiah Raines is fashioned after the author's great-grandfather, Frederick Henry Daniels. He was a merchant banker in the City of London and a wealthy man. He was an Alderman and a Freeman of the City of London. This is his story as it happened and perhaps as he wished it to happen. Everything seemed normal until he entered the street. Chaos, cars and people everywhere, shouting, screaming, crying, lost in confusion. Josiah knew things had been very tense and unpredictable but was in no way prepared for what was to happen next. After the bank closed everything had changed. On his walk home the responsibilities for not only his family but a full house staff weighed heavily upon him. Josiah's glass had always been half-full to overflowing was now difficult seeing it as neither half-full nor half-empty. Before ushering the previous residents out onto the streets, all the locks had been changed. The eleven stood on the sidewalk in front of what, moments ago, was home, now looked up to the heavens praying that answers would suddenly fall from the sky. Fate can be cruel! Who amongst them had the strength, imagination and drive to hold them all together and to lead them to a new better life?

Author Brian Bowler was born during the Summer solstice, June 21st―the longest day in 1933. But 88 years later, he is making his presence known with "Let No Dog Bark."

He is currently working on a collection of letters and short stories called "From Penury to Poverty," about his life experiences.

Bowler attended East Oxford Primary School and earned a scholarship to the Oxford City Education Department at the age of 10 for his original story idea.

Submitting this manuscript for Editing Services to BabyBook prior to publication resulted in the following recognition.

"This is a charming historical fiction tale that begins in London at the turn of the century - following a wealthy family, their devoted butler and servants after the financial crash experienced around the world. ...The once poverty-stricken Londoners not only become land-owners but also realize wealth in not just money but in lifelong friendships."

"The author's historical knowledge and presentation is to be commended, as is his incredible talent to relate the necessary steps and ideas that Henry and his cohorts come up with to continue to build the business. The government requiring food storage and hence turning the farm into a food processing industry is nothing less than brilliant." Perhaps editor is not really the correct title for her contribution. Alice Brown-Bowler is however, my wife, companion, encourager, proof-reader, audience, fine-tuner of my literary efforts and has spent many hours listening to and tweaking "Let No Dog Bark" for the past three years. She is also the one that helped me write the most profound and last two words to this novel. "The End."
In addition, at age 73 she holds a Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology and was a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for 15 years. Dr. Glenn Davis, long-time friend, companion and sounding board who nobly performed the task of proof-reading all earlier versions in-part and in-whole of the book to give us the disinterested opinion of a Clinical Psychologist on a book with no pictures.
