1898. Two sheep farmers and their sheepdogs engage in a years-long
battle to prove their superiority in handling sheep-a battle which
ultimately must end in death. The story begins: The sun stared
brazenly down on a gray farmhouse lying long and low in the shadow
of the Muir Pike; on the ruins of peel-tower and barmkyn, relics of
the time of raids, it looked; on ranges of whitewashed
outbuildings; on a goodly array of dark-thatched ricks. In the
stack-year, behind the lengthy range of stables, two men were
thatching. One lay sprawling on the crest of the rick, the other
stood perched on a ladder at a lower level.

A beloved classic gets a beautiful new look.
Lassie is Joe’s prize collie and constant companion. But when Joe’s father loses his job, Lassie must be sold. Three times she escapes from her new owner, and three times she returns home to Joe, until finally she is taken to the remotest part of Scotland—too far a journey for any dog to make alone.
But Lassie is not just any dog. First published in 1940, Lassie Come-Home has become one of the best-loved dog stories in the world. This beautiful edition showcases the original text and illustrations within a striking new jacket.
