Noble Hounds and Dear Companions: The Royal Photograph Collection

Published by The Royal Collection, 2007, hardcover, illustrated, 123 pages, condition: new.

A celebration of the four-footed friends who have played so great a role in the public life and private lives of the Royal Family, from Queen Victoria to the present day.

Paintings and works of art from the Royal collection complete the story, and the book is brought up to date with the famous Welsh corgis - such as Dookie, Her Majesty The Queen's first corgi from whom all of The Queen's corgis are descended.

How could I not love this book? Dogs and monarchy! What more can I say? Pets of the Royal Family are shown from Queen Victoria onward. The photographs are simply delightful. Most of the pets are dogs, but there are some cats also. This would be a lovely coffee-table-type gift for anyone who loves monarchy and dogs
