We Think the World of You by J Ackerley

The love between friends, Johnny, young and feckless, and Frank, middle-aged and devoted, and their love for Johnny's beautiful pedigree bitch, Evie. These are the main themes of this novel. Throughout, the dog becomes more and more the creature around which their relationships revolve.

J.R.Ackerley was born in Herne Hill, Kent, in 1896 and attended Rossall School and Cambridge's Magdalene College. He met E.M. in 1922. A deep friendship evolved between Forster and the two. Ackerley moved for India in 1923 to work as a Private Secretary to the Marharajah of Chhokrapur, which culminated in Hindoo Holiday, thanks to Forster's influence. He also worked for the BBC as an assistant producer and then as the Listener's literary editor.
