Who could resist a dog who manages to wind a whole household round his paw while committing sins that deserve the harshest punishment? Greedy, always out for the main chance, not above taking revenge on the one person in the person in the house who doesn't like him, he remains utterly appealing. And with Cecil Aldin's pictures to bring him vibrantly alive, he has captivated generations of children and adults alike. First published in 1902, "A Dog Day" has been continously in demand ever since. It remains Cecil Aldin's most enduring creation, and now appears again for a new generation, to delight all those with a soft spot for a wholly lovable scamp.

About the Author
Cecil Aldin was born in Slough and began his working life as a magazine illustrator. He soon became famous for his sporting prints, posters, children's books and pictures of old inns. But it is was in his depictions of dogs that he was unsurpassed, and it was said of him that he 'captured the very soul of a dog'.

This is only a short book, you can read it in ten minutes but you laugh all the way. The adorable sketches bring the dog to life. Although written at the turn of the century, this book is timeless, a real gem.

this book has continued to make me hysterical ever since it was given to me as a gift by a loving dog ... some of the phrases in it have passed into family language ... "capital string" and "a strange feeling in my underneath" being just two examples ... buy this book for somebody you love if they like dogs it is a lovely object to own ... but only if they have a capital sense of humour ...

This is one of the sweetest little books I have ever read. Great illustrations! I bought several when visiting London a few years back. Now I'm ordering them online. Can't believe they aren't available in the states. I understand it's a reproduction of an out-of-print book.
