Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Greyfriars Bobby When the time-gun boomed from Edinburgh Castle, Bobby gave a startled yelp. He was only a little country dog - the very youngest and smallest and shaggiest of Skye terriers - bred on a heathery slope of the Pentland hills, where the loudest sound was the bark of a collie or the tinkle of a sheep-bell. That morning he had come to the weekly market with Auld Jock, a farm laborer, and the Grassmarket of the Scottish capital lay in the narrow valley at the southern base of Castle Crag. Two hundred feet above it the time-gun was mounted in the half-moon battery on an overhanging, crescent-shaped ledge of rock. In any part of the city the report of the one-o'clock gun was sufficiently alarming, but in the Grassmarket it was an earth-rending explosion directly overhead. It needed to be heard but once there to be registered on even a little dog's brain. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis Greyfriar's Bobby by : Eleanor Atkinson
Download or read book Greyfriar's Bobby written by Eleanor Atkinson and published by . This book was released on 2010-12 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in 19th century Edinburgh, Scotland, Greyfriar's Bobby is a classic dog story that teaches the values of friendship, loyalty, compassion and an innate sense of duty. A small terrier named Bobby was the devoted working companion to an elderly shepherd, but when Old Jock dies and is buried in the Greyfriar's Cemetery the lonely dog takes up his vigil at the grave. This proves no easy accomplishment since dogs are not allowed in this gated burial ground. Befriended by a kind innkeeper and eventually by the local tenement children, Bobby is sustained physically during his 15-year faithful graveside watch. His canine tenderness and unflagging devotion gained him the reputation as a beacon of loyalty as Old Jock's only mourner. The dog's dedication at the site of his master's grave touched the heartstrings of amazed humankind. Perhaps considered sentimental by modern standards of animal/human literary fare, this book remains a classic in canine lore--ultimately inspiring the citizens of Edinburgh to erect a statue honoring Bobby's lifelong vigil. This short book also offers descriptions of Scotland's scenic beauty, along with gentle insights into the Victorian lifestyle. For dog lovers and kids of all ages!
