Sinopsis

Dogs have been the closest companions to human beings since the Stone Age, and have been illustrated, described, dramatised and eulogised in one form or another ever since. This new book celebrates that association through thirty famous dogs and their role in literature. Dogs in Books ranges from Pliny's description of the domestic dog in the 6th century BC, to the dogs depicted in mythology, astrology and medieval manuscripts, dogs in classic stories by Kipling, Conan Doyle and Dickens to more recent examples such as Lassie, Snoopy, Toto (from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz), Tintin's dog Snowy, Spot the Dog and many more. Illustrated in colour throughout, this is an ideal gift for every dog lover.
