Book description
A celebration of the mongrel.
The mongrel occupies a special place in our hearts and homes. Jilly
Cooper collected stories from hundreds of owners to write this
engaging and affectionate tribute. She presents a delightful account
of the lives and natures of a vast assortment of dogs of doubtful
parentage: a fascinating, moving and entertaining chronicle of their
exploits and accomplishments, their bravery, devotion and wisdom.
Jilly's special method of classification enables you to tell instantly
if your pet is a Woolly Whitejaw, a Borderline Collie, a Bertrand
Russell or a Lancashire Hot Pet. At last, our mongrels have achieved
the recognition they have so long deserved...
Jilly Cooper is a journalist, author and media superstar. The
author of many number one bestselling novels, she lives in
Gloucestershire with her husband Leo, her rescue greyhounds Feather
and Bluebell and her black cat Feral.
She was appointed OBE in 2004 for services to literature, and in
2009 was awarded an honorary Doctorate of Letters by the University of
Gloucestershire for her contribution to literature and services to the County.
