Greyfriars Bobby, Hardback Book

Greyfriars Bobby Hardback

Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library series

Hardback

Description

The moving story of a little dog with a huge heart and of the unbreakable bond between an animal and his owner. Part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket-sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers.

These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover.

This edition features an introduction by Mary Paulson-Ellis. When Auld Jock, a shepherd, loses his job, he moves to Edinburgh in search of work.

But the city isn’t kind to him and he falls into a life of poverty.

Lonely, old and ill, his only companion is a plucky little Skye terrier named Bobby, who belonged to the farmer that dismissed Jock.

When the farmer tries to take the dog back, Bobby escapes and finds his way back to town.

From that day on, he stays devoted to Auld Jock, even guarding the old man’s grave in Greyfriars kirkyard for many years. Inspired by true events, Eleanor Atkinson's Greyfriars Bobby is the deeply touching story of an inseparable bond and a wonderful evocation of Edinburgh in the late nineteenth century.
