Description

Old Toffer's Book of Consequential Dogs is a companion volume to T. S. Eliot's beloved collection of practical cat poems, Old Possum's Practical Cats. First published in 1939, this iconic poetry collection has become one of the most successful in the world. Written by award-winning poet Christopher Reid, who shares a similar background with Eliot as a former editor at Faber and Faber, this book brings together paired poems about memorable dogs that are just as witty and varied. The result is an exquisitely compiled collection featuring canine characters such as Dobson the Dog Detective, Flo the Philosophical Foxhound, and Frazzlesprat, who would rather be a cat. This companion volume completes Eliot's original vision, offering a humorous and engaging read for those familiar with his feline poems.
