About this product

Product Information

When Monty Don's golden retriever Nigel became the surprise star of BBC Gardeners' World inspiring huge interest, fan mail and even his own social media accounts, Monty Don wanted to explore what makes us connect with animals quite so deeply. In many respects Nigel is a very ordinary dog; charming, handsome and obedient, as so many are. He is also a much loved family pet. He is also a star. By telling Nigel's story, Monty relates his relationships with the other special dogs in his life in a memoir of his dogs past and very much present. Witty, touching and life-affirming, NIGEL: MY FAMILY AND OTHER DOGS is wonderfully heart-warming. Monty Don is a great writer coming out of the garden and into the hearts and homes of every dog lover in the UK. 'I have always had a dog, or dogs. I cannot imagine life without them. I am just as much a fan of Nigel as any besotted viewer. In the book I explore why we love dogs and what they mean to us emotionally and domestically. I look back on all the dogs in my life - all of which I have loved deeply and which have been an essential part of my life. So, this is the book of Nigel - but also the book of all our dogs in every British family and a celebration of the deep love we feel for them' Monty Don

  • Happy, sad, funny, has everything

    This book was a real bargain. In good condition. I laughed and cried at this book. A mixture of information about dogs in general and his dogs throughout his life, particularly Nigel of course. Would highly recommend. Easy reading.

  • A fantastic book to read.

    Such a lovely story about Monty and his dog, found it had to put down once I had started to read it. Funny and very heart warming. Well worth purchasing. Hope he does another one later because I will certainly be getting it.

  • A moving book written with love.

    This is my first Monty Don book. I am a dog lover and a keen gardener and this book has been written with such love of both. It is sad and happy in equal measure. This is a book I will keep and loan out to my friends who share the same values.

    Very low price compared with the high street, amazed when the book turned out to be a hardback as well!
