Description

Throughout his life Rudyard Kipling was fond of dogs, and while they featured prominently in early tales such as The Dog Hervey and Garm a Hostage, he later came up with the innovative idea of writing a story from the perspective of a dog, resulting in the hugely successful Thy Servant a Dog, narrated by an Aberdeen terrier named Boots. This collection, published in the authors lifetime, gathers Kiplings dog stories written throughout his career, providing a warm tribute to mans best friend and showcasing the lively storytelling talents of one of Britains most enduringly popular writers.

Reviews

Kiplings stories of dogs are deft and charming, bubbling with fun, touched with pathos, full of acute observation. Their cleverest feature is the limitation of the dogs world. The human beings are seen through their eyes only. * The Times *
