'Quite the best dog story ever written' Guardian 'One of my
favourite books of all time' Jilly Cooper 1.25pm. Upstairs into
dining-room. Family not finished lunch yet. Young Mr Brown throws a
bread pellet at me, hitting me on the nozzle. An insult. I swallow
the insult. A Dog Day is narrated by a lovable scamp of a terrier
as he goes about his day rolling in mud, eating what he shouldn't,
and generally wreaking havoc - all while keeping the Brown
household wrapped around his paw. Featuring Cecil Aldin's
delightful original illustrations, A Dog Day is filled with warmth,
humour and more than a little bit of mischief. First published in
1902, it's a timeless classic that continues to enchant readers of
all ages.

a vice familiar to many in the world of gambling.
'Thy Servant a Dog and other Dog stories' brings together a
delightful selection of Kipling short stories and poems. The first
three tales, Thy Servant a Dog, The Great Play Hunt and Toby Dog,
are narrated by the Black Aberdeen Terrier Boots, and concern the
adventures of himself and his canine friends Slippers, Ravager and
Toby, their wars with Kitchen Cat and their incomprehension of the
ways of the humans in their lives. A Sea Dog is a nautical tale
about Malachi, who sees action in the North Sea, and Teem - a
Treasure-Hunter tells of a little French dog with a nose for
truffles. The collection also includes three poems, The
Supplication of the Black Aberdeen, His Apologies and The Power of
the Dog (included for the first time). This new edition includes
many of the original charming black-and-white illustrations by G.
L. Stampa and Cecil Aldin and is sure to entertain a whole new
generation of children and dog-lovers.
