Synopsis
Few people can fail to be cheered by the adventures and personality of Cecil Aldin's mischievous puppies.
Published as a follow-up to the phenomenally successful A Dog Day, The Rascal follows a year in the life of a bulldog puppy who enters the social whirl of Edwardian London. This beautiful and charming puppy becomes the darling of an actress, enjoys the races at Ascot, goes punting at the Henley Regatta and holidays in Ostend. The high life finally ends as his sense of the bulldog, and British virtues leads him to disaster and he discovers the new pleasures of country living.
The brilliant full-page illustrations became collectors items when the book was first published in 1905. Cecil Aldin's pictures bring the puppy to vibrant life, and show why Aldin's art has captivated generations of adults and children, and his sense of fun shines from every line. Anyone who knows dogs will recognise this canine rascal, portrayed by the greatest of all dog illustrators.
