From the Inside Flap
From Peter Mayle, the exploits of his beloved dog, Boy, who made a starring debut in Toujours Provence.
Now, Boy, an uncannily perspicacious and shaggy canine of undetermined origin, takes center stage, recounting his event-filled life in the French countryside. From his humble beginnings fighting siblings for liquid sustenance, until the day he establishes undisputed control of the Mayle household, Boy recounts his village life as a bachelor, his contempt for hunters, his love (after a fashion) for chickens, his amorous interludes, his run-ins with plumbers and other human annoyances, his dinner party tidbits (literally), and other joyous and trying adventures in Mayle country.
Boy's understanding of human foibles and his stylistic insouciance (learned, no doubt, at his master's feet) make for a unique and rollicking memoir.
Hotel Pastis, by Peter Mayle, is also available as a Random House AudioBook.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Koren, Edward (illustrator). This is a diary, of a sort. But since dogs have no sense of time, it is a sporadic, haphazard grab-bag that has little chronological basis. Instead, it offers reflections on the relationship between man and dog, and some revelations about the human condition, as seen from a different perspective. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR003559563
