Shaggy-haired and boisterous, Greyfriars Bobby is ‘a merry little muffin of a terrier’ inseparable from his owner, Auld Jock, a simple, kind-hearted shepherd. When Auld Jock dies, worn out by too many cold winters, Bobby is heartbroken.
Dogs are banned from the kirkyard but ever courageous and resourceful, Bobby determines to win over the dour caretaker Mr Brown and achieve his heartfelt desire of lying on Auld Jock’s grave. Many adventures follow and there are numerous obstacles to be overcon overcome, yet Bobby never fails to keep his vigil on his beloved master’s grave.
Based on a true account, Greyfriars Bobby was written for adults but is equally popular with children, its warmth and universal appeal making it one of the best-loved of animal stories.

by Troy Denning
Luke Skywalker wanted to unify the Jedi order and bring peace to the universe. Instead his wife Mara lies dead at the hands of an unknown assassin, his wayward nephew Jacen has seized control of the Galactic Alliance, and the galaxy has exploded in all-out civil war.
by John Steinbeck
As Nobel Prize winner Steinbeck chronicles their deeds—their multiple lovers, their wonderful brawls, their Rabelaisian wine-drinking—he spins a tale as compelling and ultimately as touched by sorrow as the famous legends of the Round Table, which inspired him.
by Nick Hornby
In Nick Hornby’s completely joyous and original new book two great figures share the stage. Charles Dickens and Prince. Two wildly different artists who caught fire and lit up the world in ways no others could.
