White on Dogs, his granddaughter and manager of his literary estate, Martha White, has compiled the best and funniest of her grandfather's essays, poems, and letters depicting over a dozen of his various canine companions. Included here are favorite essays such as "Two Letters, Both Open", "Bedfellows", and many others, as well as some of White's little-known notes and comment pieces covering dog shows, sled dog races, and the trials and tribulations of city canines.

Heartfelt and heartening

Wonderful use of language - read sensitively as if the reader was the writer. It was deep with emotion, wit and knowledge. A remarkable outlook on life, animals and human beings.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 12
The garden has always been a place of peace and perseverance, of nurture and reward. Using contemporary neuroscience, psychoanalysis and compelling real-life stories, The Well Gardened Mind investigates the remarkable effects of nature on our health and well-being. From the science of the brain’s own ‘gardener cells’ to the beauty of flowers and the grounding effects of working with nature’s rhythms of growth, decay and regeneration, Stuart-Smith provides a new perspective on the power of gardening. Prisoners given the chance to grow plants are less likely to reoffend.

A book for these times...
Revisado: 06-04-20
How fortunate it was to find the recommendation for this book in times such as these. Not a word about about Covid-19 but about times past that have needed the mending ways, physical, mental and emotional, of gardening as now. Whether the garden be small or large it is a form of medicine that restores.
The audio book is read softly and calmly but firmly by a gardener and mental health professional who has experienced all she has written about. When I found it would not be in the bookshops in Australia until July I ordered the audiobook and followed up with the book order. Instant gratification and the book in my hands three weeks later.
The implication is that one has to help oneself by the choice of gardening and creation. There is no hectoring just wonderful examples through the ages.
Some soil, water, seed and care go a long way - listening and reading for these times - thank you.
