Auld Jock, a shepherd, loses his job and moves to Edinburgh in search of work, but the city is not kind to him and he falls into poverty. Lonely, old, and ill, his only companion is a plucky little Skye terrier named Bobby, who belonged to the farmer that dismissed Jock. When the farmer tries to take the dog back, Bobby escapes and finds his way back to town. From that day on, he stays devoted to Auld Jock, even guarding the old man's grave in Greyfriars Kirkyard for many years.

Inspired by true events, Eleanor Atkinson's "Greyfriars Bobby" is the deeply touching story of an inseparable bond and a wonderful evocation of Edinburgh in the late nineteenth century. The book is part of the Macmillan Collectors Library, a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket-sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition features an introduction by Mary Paulson-Ellis.
