Synopsis

Arthur and Friends is the continued adventures of Arthur, the plucky, scruffy stray dog from Ecuador who followed his owner Mikael through the jungle to find his forever home. From Arthur's first Christmas in Sweden and trips to London, to a terrifying bout of illness and family camping adventures, Arthur and Friends is the next gripping, uplifting chapter of Arthur and Mikael's story. Interspersed with this narrative are heart-warming, moving readers' stories of their own rescue dogs. From Ecuador to America to Australia and everywhere in between, the stories of these other 'Arthurs' prove both that dogs are man's best friend, and that a little kindness can go a very long way.

About this title

About the Author

Mikael Lindnord is a Hall of Fame adventure racer. As a boy he wanted to be an ice hockey player, but failing to make the team at the age of seventeen set him on a different path. After doing military service he became an adventure racer in the late 90s. He travelled the world and raced in the Adventure Racing World Series for almost two decades. Today he is a bestselling author, producer, public speaker, entrepreneur, coach and project leader.

Arthur was a mongrel from somewhere in Ecuador. He liked meatballs, long runs with Mikael and relaxing with his family in Sweden.

As an editor of non-fiction at major publishing houses, Val Hudson published many ground-breaking bestsellers. Now a full-time writer, she is the author of a wide range of non-fiction and, as Chloe Bennet, the 'Boywatching' series of novels for young teens.

From the Back Cover

Three years ago, Mikael Lindnord met a scruffy, plucky stray dog on an adventure race in Ecuador. Despite illness and injury the dog followed Mikael for hundreds of miles, and eventually Mikael took him home to Sweden to be part of the family. He named him Arthur.

Arthur and Friends is the story of what happened next, from Arthur's first Christmas, to book tours to London and around Europe, to a terrifying bout of illness and new races and adventures. Interspersed with this are heart-warming readers' stories of their own rescue dogs, from Afghanistan to Australia, and everywhere in between.

Uplifting, gripping and moving in equal measure, Arthur and Friends is the inspirational story of how a little kindness can go a very, very long way.
