This is a beautiful story - so sad in places, but with.a lovely happy ending. The writing style feels antiquated - older novels are written in a forthright manner that has long been out of fashion - but the story itself is timeless. Be kind to animals and they will be kind to you.

I initially got this book as a gift from my great grandmother when I was 8, I cherished this book. I was in the phase of loving nearly anything to do with animals. This book was my first favourite read ever. I have probably read it about 5 times over haha.

This book has some great memories for me. I especially cherish it since my great grandmother passed away a couple years ago now and it has her writing in the front cover.
