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, 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 any dog.
Lassie Come-Home was a publishing phenomenon when it appeared as a short story in 1938 and then as a novel in 1940. Now, Rosemary Wells and Susan Jeffers have crafted Eric Knight's original novel into a powerful new edition, written and illustrated especially for young readers. Through masterful storytelling and deeply affecting art, they take us back to a Lassie before Hollywood, before TV, and introduce this unforgettable, heartrending tale to the minds and imaginations of a new generation of readers.
