I read 'The Scent of Water' earlier in the year - charmingly old-fashioned but can't recall any dogs in it. The picture of her is exactly how I thought she would look.

Barbara

She doesn't give much away in that autobiography, does she? If you've never read any of her books, you're in for a treat. I find them variable: I like the Damerosehay trilogy and the Torminster books. And The Little White Horse, of course. Many readers find her whimsy too much for them.

Cornflower

Even without the dogs I'd like to read that one.
She does look as she 'sounds', doesn't she?

Cornflower

You're right, Barbara, she doesn't give much away!
I have a high tolerance for whimsy so I think I'll be alright.

Nan

I love this. And though I haven't seen a dog 'weep' I do know that our Sadie was depressed for a year after Ben died. It was like she didn't know what her place was anymore. Gradually, she came to take over many of his 'jobs.'

Cornflower

Oh, Nan, that's so sad but so sweet - poor Sadie!

pamela

Love her.
The Little White Horse!
and of course, she loves dogs!
My kind of lady.

Dandie Dinmonts make me think of the Gerald Durrell books about Corfu and his family's specimens of the breed--not an auspicious recommendation, but a funny one!
