![]() ![]() I had previously enjoyed the charming 1961 Disney film adaptation of Greyfriars Bobby, and for some reason, I don't know why, I had the notion that the source novel would be a bit dry and dusty. ![]() ![]() I was delighted to find Greyfriars Bobby is now available on kindle, free of charge. A short glossary at the back, explains the occasional Gaelic words which pepper the text. ![]() Tourists also tend to visit the graves, as Greyfriars Bobby was buried near to his much-loved owner in 1872.Īlthough my Puffin book said it was “written for grown-ups but suitable for children between 8 and 12”, it is the sort of timeless story which can be enjoyed by all ages. The story continues to be well known in Scotland, and there is a prominent statue in Edinburgh to commemorate this very special Skye Terrier: There is also a more recent film from 2006. I first saw the older film of this from 1961 on television, and enjoyed it so much that I tracked Eleanor Atkinson's book down. After John Gray died, Greyfriars Bobby watched over his grave in Greyfriars Kirkyard, for the next 14 years, right until the day the dog himself died. Greyfriars Bobby is a famous little dog, who became known for his loyalty to John Gray, a night watchman for the Edinburgh City Police in the 19th century. This is a lovely story from 1912, based on fact, about a Skye Terrier. ![]()

I found Juliet Barrett's Charlotte the best of the lot. I even seem to recall a movie version of the Sanditon fragment quite a few years ago.
