The story of the Skye terrier who refused to leave his master's grave in Greyfriar's Kirkyard, Edinburgh, has been popular from Victorian times.

The book is illustrated with drawings and photographs and relevant objects from the collections of National Museums Scotland and its Scottish Life Archive. An eight-page activity section includes: Dog issues - true or false? How well do you know your dog? Wordsearch. Follow in Bobby's pawprints.

About the Author:
Frances and Gordon Jarvie are the editors of the Scotties and between them authors of eight titles in the series.
Review:
' ... recounts the well-known story of Edinburgh's favourite dog, in words and pictures. But it does so much more, also telling a tale of Victorian Edinburgh ... All laid out in an extremely appealing fashion, this is an excellent and enticing read.' Scotsman ' ... aimed at young readers but of interest to all ages ... Bobby may be the "hook" for the book but the history, illustrations and explanations are a treasure trove for anyone who loves the city itself ... a welcome addition to the successful series of NMS Scottie Activity Books.' Edinburgh Herald and Post ' ... a useful resource for those who like to know the story behind the story, and for studying local history.' School Librarian
