Lifelong dog-lover Frank Jackson has chosen material from more than 400 writers, including Lewis Carroll, Graham Greene, James Joyce, Kipling, Ogden Nash, Richard M. Nixon, Ovid, Shakespeare, John Steinbeck, James Thurber, and Mark Twain. Gathering material from the fifth century BC to the 1990s, this one-of-a-kind collection presents a rich diversity of human observations about all things canine.
For much of his life a professional architect, Frank Jackson has bred, studied and written on dogs for as long as he can recall. The author of ten previous books on dogs, a feisty columnist in Dogs Today magazine and a contributor to many other sporting and veterinary publications, he lives in Lancashire.
