Background

The book features stories from Jilly Cooper, David Blunkett and Ann Widdecombe and a foreword from the Daily Telegraph’s pet agony aunt, Celia Haddon. There are stories from everyday people of all ages, people who work with animals and a few celebrities who don’t wear their animal like a designer handbag; as well as poetry from Updike to Kipling, and many beautiful illustrations by the artist, Sara Rapoport


Reviews

"Absolutely enchanting!" - Jilly Cooper


"...The little book contained so much happiness that I couldn’t put it down until I’d read every page. There was no sentimental slush, no maudlin anecdote, but page after page of the celebration of the lives of dogs, cats, rabbits, horses; even a snake slithered its way onto the pages. I was smiling but reaching for the tissues at the same time…" - B.J. Kerks, Fur & Feather

Farewell My Lovely - E. B. White (2574 words)
My own generation identifies it with Youth, with its gaudy, irretrievable excitements; before it fades into the mist, I would like to pay it the tribute of the sigh that is not a sob, and set down random entries in a shape somewhat less cumbersome than a Sears Roebuck catalogue.
I myself drove my car directly from the agency to the flsmith's, and had the smith affix two enormous iron brackets to the port running board to support an army trunk.
One time, on the banks of the Columbia River in Washington, I heard the rear end go out of my Model T when I was trying to whip it up a steep incline onto the deck of a ferry.
