One of the most famous of all literary dogs, Flush was the golden cocker spaniel belonging to Elizabeth Barrett. In this charming and heatfelt biography, Viginia Woolf tells his story: his early days as Miss. Mitford's puppy running across the fields in wild abandon and fathering another, then the years spent in his invalid mistress' bedroom in Wimpole Street, the terror of his kidnap by a Whitechapel gang, the excitement of Miss Barratt's development with Robert Browning and the subsequent very different and much happier life in Italy. Flush, already immortalised in poetry, is vividly brought to life in this humorous, compassionate yet unsentimental portrayal of a dog's loves, fears, jealousies and reconciliations. A triumph of imaginative, sympathetic and remarkably accessible writing. Abridged - 2 Cassettes - 3hrs app. ISBN: 9781873859490 or 187385949X
