Lassie Come-Home by Eric M Knight
A beloved classic gets a beautiful new look.
Lassie is Joe's prize collie and constant companion. But when Joe's father loses his job, Lassie must be sold. Three times she escapes from her new owner, and three times she returns home to Joe, until finally she is taken to the remotest part of Scotland--too far a journey for any dog to make alone. But Lassie is not just any dog. First published in 1940, Lassie Come-Home has become one of the best-loved dog stories in the world. This beautiful edition showcases the original text and illustrations within a striking new jacket.Eric Knight was born in 1897 in the English county of Yorkshire, which served as the setting for Lassie Come-Home. As a teenager, he immigrated to the United States. Eric Knight married and lived on a farm in Pennsylvania after graduating from Cambridge Latin School in Massachusetts, where Lassie Come-Home was written and where the collie who inspired the novel is buried.
