A DOG DAY HC – WALTER EMANUEL-CECIL ALDIN

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.
