This small volume is a collection of 25 vignettes Carr wrote about her years raising and selling Old English Bobtail Sheep dogs. Many of the stories are humourous while others are sad or uplifting. Each section is introduced by her favourite dog Punk who describes where they were and what they were doing. As well Carr includes a drawing depicting the events of the chapter. ( ) At 96 pages, this book charms without trying to be charming. The prose is beautiful, without unnecessary adornment, caring without being sentimental, and wise in its observations about life without preaching. I am always looking out for a 'sleeper'--a book relatively undiscovered and special-- that I can give my best friends, aged aunties, young moms, children, that is not trite or trendy or filled with the obvious. The sketches by the author reveal both depth of feeling and simplicity. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
