Greyfriars bobbyxsandy flickr On our most recent visit to the home of Bobby one of my younger brother s chose a copy of this book We have a different picture book version of the story at home so I was interested to discover what this one would be like. Book Greyfriars bobby's The book is about a puppy named Bobby who lived in Grassmarket area of Edinburgh over 100 years ago Bobby spends his days chasing rats out of the kitchen of the George Herriot school and has lots of friends including the school boys and the local night watchman Constable John Gray.

Book greyfriars bobby We enjoyed this version of the story a lot especially the illustrations If you are familiar with Edinburgh you will enjoy recognising places that you can still visit today Grassmarket the West Bow Well Castle Rock the Castle Candlemaker Row however this most famous part of his story is only touched on as an afterthought in this version Instead the book focuses on Bobby s life as a street dog prior to his adoption by John Gray how the pair came to meet and his life as the constable s dog. Book Greyfriars bobby's This does seem like a slightly odd approach to a very wellnown story to effectively exclude the part that people usually resonate the most with however it does allow for a very different telling As it happens however that new telling does seem to have been entirely made up by the author which again seems like a very odd approach for a publisher who specializes in sharing traditional folktales. Greyfriars Bobby kindle Because this book excludes the familiar story that most people will be looking for and expecting and instead replaces it with a story that has almost no basis in the original tale beyond a few familiar locations Sophie struggles to recommend this one It s a lovely story yes but it s not really the story of Greyfriar s Bobby Paperback Note I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss Paperback
