Dog Stories (Alma Classics): Rudyard Kipling

by RudyardKipling (Author)

Synopsis

Throughout his life Rudyard Kipling was fond of dogs, and while they featured prominently in early tales such as `The Dog Hervey' and `Garm - a Hostage', he later came up with the innovative idea of writing a story from the perspective of a dog, resulting in the hugely successful `Thy Servant a Dog', narrated by an Aberdeen terrier named Boots. This collection, published in the author's lifetime, gathers Kipling's dog stories written throughout his career, providing a warm tribute to man's best friend and showcasing the lively storytelling talents of one of Britain's most enduringly popular writers.

Media Reviews
Kipling's stories of dogs are... deft and charming, bubbling with fun, touched with pathos, full of acute observation. Their cleverest feature is the limitation of the dogs' world. The human beings are seen through their eyes only. * The Times *
