Lassie Come-Home is one of the best-loved dog stories in the world.
Presented here with illustrations by Gary Blythe and an extra section
for young readers.
Everyone in the Yorkshire town of Greenall Bridge knows Lassie, the
prize collie of miner Sam Carraclough and his son Joe. But when the
family falls on hard times, Sam is forced to sell his dog to the Duke of
Rudling, who takes her hundreds of miles away to his estate in Scotland.
Undeterred by the distance and driven by instinctive love, Lassie
escapes from her new owners and embarks on an epic journey to be
reunited with her young master Joe. Will she survive the hardships of
the long journey and the various dangers along the way?
Based on the author's own childhood memories and filled with adventure
and suspense, Lassie Come-Home - Eric Knight's best-loved novel and a
huge best-seller, famously adapted into a 1943 Hollywood movie - is a
timeless classic and one of the greatest dog stories ever written.
