Product Description

Viking Hardcover size: 6 3/4" x 9 1/2" with 192 pgs. Beautiful black and white and colorful photos and illustratins throughout the book. This is an intensely personal book born out of Rumor Godden's lifelong devotion to pekingese. It is not a "dog" book in the sense that it will tell anyone hoe to choose, look after or breed pekingese. It could be called a Romance. It is an attempt to trace the fascinating and often moving story of the pekingese from antiquity to the present day."They all have long histories," the Dowager Empress of China told her lady-in-waiting, but even she did not know how long.
