Description
Greyfriars Bobby is a true story about an extraordinary dog who became a symbol of loyalty and devotion in 19th-century Edinburgh. In 1855, a Skye Terrier named Bobby was left to guard the grave of his owner until he died himself in 1872. Bobby's remarkable story has been told and retold through several books and films, including this novel by Eleanor Atkinson, published in 1912. The dog's dedication to his master is still remembered today, with a prominent statue and nearby graves attracting tourists to the Greyfriars Kirkyard in Edinburgh. A testament to Bobby's enduring legacy is the drinking fountain erected at the junction of George IV Bridge and Candlemaker Row, featuring his statue on top. This poignant tribute was given by Lady Burdett-Coutts in 1873, a year after Bobby's death, ensuring that his remarkable story will continue to be remembered for generations to come. 170 pages, paperback binding.
