Tin Tin's Snowy, Odysseus's Argos, Darwin's Polly, Mary Queen of
Scots's 22 lap-dogs, Elizabeth Barrett Browning's Flush... Behind
every great man or woman is a dog. A Dictionary of Interesting and
Important Dogs is a rich compendium of the world's most significant
and beloved dogs. Embracing the intriguing and the provocative, the
essential and the trivial, Peter J. Conradi forays into history,
literature and personal anecdotes to unearth a treasure trove of
canine characters. Discover the stories behind Karl Marx's and his
daughter's Dogberry Club; the lapdogs who were secreted in
first-class cabins on the Titanic and how they survived;
Edinburgh's Greyfriars Bobby who stayed by his master's grave for
14 years; and the one undisputed fact about Shakespeare - his
singular dislike for dogs. A Dictionary of Interesting and
Important Dogs is a wonderful and witty homage to man's most
faithful friend.
