Sobre este artículo
MacMillan, London, 1934. First Edition. Hardcover (Original Cloth). Fair Condition/No Dust Jacket. Illustrator: G. L. Stampa. 112 b/w. illustrations by G. L. Stampa; Rudyard Kipling, famed for his creation of such well-loved creatures as Shere Khan, Bagheera and Rikki-tikki-tavi, here turns his hand to the canine world. Each delightful story centres around a particular dog whether "Toby Dog", "The Black Aberdeen", or "A Sea Dog" and reveals the creature's relation to his human counterpart. Collected Dog Stories once again demonstrates Kipling's remarkable skill at delighting adults and children alike with his endearing animal creations. Throughout his life Rudyard Kipling was fond of dogs, and while they featured prominently in early tales such as 'The Dog Hervey' and 'Garm - a Hostage', he later came up with the innovative idea of writing a story from the perspective of a dog, resulting in the hugely successful 'Thy Servant a Dog', narrated by an Aberdeen terrier named Boots. This collection, published in the author's lifetime, gathers Kipling's dog stories written throughout his career, providing a warm tribute to man's best friend and showcasing the lively storytelling talents of one of Britain's most enduringly popular writers.
