"This collection of four stories from Britain's most celebrated dog illustrator, Cecil Aldin, showcases the cheeky canine scamps always on the hunt for stray food and adventure. As an illustrator, Aldin was unsurpassed in depicting the character of a dogùan ability that made him a household name in Britain in the early 20th century. The four tales included here developed from illustrations drawn on the wall of his children's bedroom in the years before World War I, his most prolific period. Aldin's sense of fun shines as Poppy, Scamp, Snowball, and Bobtail jump off the page, such as when Poppy terrorizes a parrot and rabbit before finding an old paint can to get him in even more trouble."

Filled with humor and charm, this heartwarming tale follows a year in the life of a mischievous bulldog puppy entering the social whirl of Edwardian London, as told by the dog himself. Coupled with brilliant, cheerful illustrations, the loveable hero describes his naughty adventures—and his ability to escape scot-free—becoming the darling of an actress, enjoying the races at Ascot, punting at the Henley Regatta, and holidays in Ostend. When British virtues lead to the disastrous end of his "high life," the fearless canine discovers the many new joys of country living. Originally published in 1905, this classic romp demonstrates the perennial appeal of Cecil Aldrin’s illustrations and stories, for both children and adults alike.

This classic from the pen of author and artist Cecil Aldin chronicles the lives of his own dogs — Micky, an Irish wolfhound, and Cracker, a bull terrier — and offers a charming book of practical advice for would-be dog owners and trainers. In addition to tips and suggestions that are as true and effective today as they were 80 years ago, Aldin recounts delightful stories about dogs and their antics, accompanied by dozens of enchanting illustrations. Many dogs and breeds make cameos in these pages, most of them ordinary pets rather than champions or prize-winners. Along with Micky and Cracker, they illustrate anecdotes related to feeding, training, curing bad habits, and otherwise bringing up a "dog of character."
