Stuck for gift ideas for the two-leggeds on your Christmas list?

Well, little feet alerted me to this book — which she has not yet read — and suggested it as a bookish stocking stuffer for the dog-mad on your Christmas lists…

Shakespeare’s Dog is a novel by Leon Rooke (published 1981) that has won critical acclaim.

Rooke’s zany book won the Canadian Governor General’s Award for Fiction, and is said to be a “tour de force of inventive wit… [an] ..eccentric and high-spirited story of William Shakespeare and how he came to bed and wed Anne Hathaway.”

The story of the Bard is told from the point of view of the Bard’s dog, this is an astonishing novel of comic bliss, hailed as a triumph of language and an amusing delight.

If you are interested, please go to the ‘Archie’s Book and Film Club’ section of my website and with a single click you can purchase the novel via Amazon books. Or browse the other books & films listed in my club. You never know… You might just get ALL your Christmas shopping done with one wag of a dog’s tail!

In addition to this romp of a tail (awoof!), Mr Rooke has also authored seven other novels and over 300 short stories.

SuperWoof and Happy Christmas Shopping!

Archibald Esq.
