  • With lovely line drawings on each chapter head

Praise for One Dog and His Boy
“The late, great Eva Ibbotson’s last novel does not disappoint. This perfectly pitched book is a eulogy to dogs. Only someone with a profound understanding and love for dogs could have written this moving book about the importance of love and friendship and the power of people and animals to provide it.”BookTrust
“Readers who have grown to love Ibbotson’s bighearted heroes and larger-than-life adventure stories will relish this final novel, published after her death in 2010.” Publisher’s Weekly
“Eva Ibbotson’s final book is in essence a familiar story – a lonely boy desperate for a pet and a dog desperate to be loved, but this wonderful poignant story is also a critique of consumerism and a call for family values” Love Reading 4 Kids

Eva Ibbotson

Photo of Eva Ibbotson

Eva Ibbotson is the award-winning author of many books for children and adults. She has a daughter and three sons, who showed her that children like to read about ghosts, wizards, and witches “because they are just like people but madder and more interesting.”

She was born in Vienna, in Austria, but moved to England with her family when the Nazis came to power. After training to be a physiologist which she didn’t enjoy because she didn’t like doing experiments on animals, Eva got married and had four very nice children.

Her first children’s book, The Great Ghost Rescue was published in 1975, and she is best known for titles like Journey to the River Sea and The Dragonfly Pool. Eva died in 2010, aged 85.
