ON DOGS: AN ANTHOLOGY (NOTTING HILL)

This anthology offers an array of writers past and present expressing their thoughts about dogs, with an introduction by Tracey Ullman. From Roald Amundsen’s account of using and eating sled dogs in his expedition to the South Pole, to J.R. Ackerley’s tender portrayal of his ill-behaved dog Tulip, this book traces the canine journey from working animal to pampered pet. Contributors include Alice Walker, David Sedaris, A.A. Gill, James Thurber, Miranda Hart, Will Self, John Steinbeck, and Barbara Woodhouse.
