LITERARY DOG OWNERS
Doggerel: Poems about Dogs
This is the book for all those people in your life who love dogs and love poetry - I just hope we've got enough copies to cover the huge demand there will be from that demographic. You had best get in quick so your family and friends don't miss out!
From William Cowper to Thomas Hardy and from Edward Lear to Stevie Smith, this collection provides a tribute to man's best friend. Some of the most famous poets of all time celebrate our canine friends. From basset hounds to beagles and from poodles to pointers, you will find charming tributes to what is many people's favourite animal. Here is a tiny taster;
O happy dogs of England
Bark well as well you may
if you lived anywhere else
You would not be so gay
O happy dogs of England
Bark well at errand boys
If you lived anywhere else
You would not be allowed to make such an infernal noise.
(Stevie Smith)
