Heartwarming and charming stories of dogs and books from the bestselling author of The Bookseller at the End of the World. Dogs of all shapes and sizes visit Ruth Shaw's three wee bookshops in ManapĹŤuri in the far south of Aotearoa New Zealand. Local dogs, holiday house dogs, travelling dogs: many have great stories, be they funny, sad, strange, bemusing, quirky or sweet. Woven throughout are tales of the very special Hunza, the dog who worked with troubled teens alongside Ruth when she was a youth worker. This is a window into the wonderful world of Ruth and her generous love of people, books and dogs. It's a must-read for dog fans, book fans and anyone who loved her first book, The Bookseller at the End of the World.
