About This Item
New York: Grosset & Dunlap, 1940. 8vo. Brick colored cloth covered boards stamped in black. 291 pp. Book is fine./Jacket is near fine.. Greyfriars Bobby was a shaggy, silky-eared little ruffian of a Skye terrier, bred on the heathery slopes of the Scottish hills, who in his unparalleled loyalty and devotion chose to live out his days in the heart of the slums of nineteenth century Edinburgh. His true story has become a classic and will continue to capture the imagination and affection of generations of readers to come, because it is the distinguished story of how one stouthearted little dog entered the lives of both high and low, and brought them hope.
Synopsis
When the time-gun boomed from Edinburgh Castle, Bobby gave a startled yelp. He was only a little country dog - the very youngest and smallest and shaggiest of Skye terriers-bred on a heathery slope of the Pentland hills, where the loudest sound was the bark of a collie or the tinkle of a sheep-bell. That morning he had come to the weekly market with Auld Jock, a farm laborer, and the Grassmarket of the Scottish capital lay in the narrow valley at the southern base of Castle Crag.
