London, : Country Life Ltd.,, (1936).. In-8 gr. (mm. 278x218), tela moderna con applic. al piatto anter. un ritaglio della cop. in tela orig. con titolo in oro, pp., 112, illustrato da 16 tavole f.t. che riproducono i bellissimi cani disegnati da G. Vernon Stokes. Un regalo perfetto per gli amanti dei cani, in prima edizione.Questo volume è una vera celebrazione del miglior amico dell'uomo, in versi e in prosa. L'Autore has included in this anthology only references to representative dogs: dogs who do special work; dogs who have performed some signal act of gallantry or intelligence; dogs whose little tricks of character are typical and recall to each reader his own dog; and, particularly, dogs on whom the hallmark of personality is so strong that they are undeniably distinguished people. To this representative collection one more class is added: dogs whose legacy to posterity is to have inspired a poem of real beauty and grace.. In quoting from the novelists, it has been necessary to compress into short extracts material that covered many pages, or was spread out through the book. This has been done without alteration of the text. Phrases and sentences have been cut out or telescoped, but the words are those of the author, così si precisa nell'introduzione.Esemplare molto ben conservato.
