Greyfriars Bobby (Puffin Classics)

Product Information

Look at pictures of ‘modern’ Skye terriers and they seem to all be blinded by a great fringe of hair. Hmm. Consequently, they look a bit inscrutable. The authorities assumed Traill, obviously making money from his association with the dog, would pay. Inexplicably he refused, claiming the dog didn’t belong to him. He came to the Wednesday agricultural markets in the city and took his mid-day meal at a restaurant in Greyfriars Place.

Greyfriars Bobby – shedding new light on an old story Greyfriars Bobby – shedding new light on an old story

Dan... berapa kali saya dibuat menangis oleh buku tentang Bobby si anjing terrier kecil di pemakaman Greyfriars ini? Berkali-kali. 5? 6? 10? Entah. Padahal saat pertama kali tenggorokan saya terasa sesak, hidung mulai mampet, dan mata terasa panas, buku ini belum sampai pada seperempat bagian awalnya.The story takes place in the mid 1800's in Scotland. Greyfriars is the name of the cemetery. Bobby is named after the Scottish poet Robert Burns who the Scots affectionately call Bobby. Eleanor Atkinson has each character speak in the Scottish dialogue. This was initially quite a challenge to understand, but eventually it became like a game to determine what was said and I learned a few Scottish words along the way too. Greyfriars Bobby is a 1912 novel by Eleanor Atkinson based on the true story of the dog Greyfriars Bobby. The novel has been adapted into two films: Challenge to Lassie and Greyfriars Bobby. Both films starred Donald Crisp. The 1961 Walt Disney film Greyfriars Bobby: The True Story of a Dog was also based on this book. [1] This novel is written from the point-of-view of the dog, Bobby, and uses Scottish dialogue as the novel is set in Edinburgh, Scotland. Macgregor, Forbes "Greyfriars Bobby: The Real Story at Last" Steve Savage Publishers Limited, 2nd Revised edition, (2002), ISBN 978-1904246008 So, after all that info about Skye terriers, turns out a book has just been written by two Crufts Dog Show judges suggesting that Bobby was really a Dandy Dinmont.

Greyfriars Bobby - Penguin Books UK

Kalau di Jepang ada yang namanya Hachiko kalau di Inggris ada yang namanya Bobby. Pada awalnya membaca buku ini terasa menjemukan. Tampaknya saya selalu bermasalah dengan novel Inggris Klasik (Masih mendingan membaca novel Russia Klasik). Tetapi adegan demi adegan muncul apalagi ketika kesetiaan si Bobby menunggu makam tuannya selama 14 tahun membuat hati ini rasanya tercekat :'(In 1867 the lord provost of Edinburgh, Sir William Chambers, who was also a director of the Scottish Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, paid for Bobby's licence and gave the dog a collar, now in the Museum of Edinburgh.
