Inspired by true events, Greyfriars Bobby is the deeply moving story of an inseparable bond and a wonderful evocation of Edinburgh in the late nineteenth century. This edition features an introduction by Mary Paulson-Ellis. When Auld Jock loses his farm 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.We publiceren alleen reviews die voldoen aan de voorwaarden voor reviews.
