Nigel Av Monty Don

<p><b>THE <i>SUNDAY TIMES </i>BESTSELLER</b><br><br><b>NIGEL - One of Britain''s favourite dogs!</b> <b>MONTY DON - One of Britain''s favourite presenters. </b><br><br>When <b>Monty Don''s golden retriever Nigel</b> became the surprise star of <b>BBC <i>Gardeners'' World</i></b> inspiring huge interest, fan mail and his own social media accounts, Monty Don wanted to explore what makes us <b>connect with animals</b> quite so deeply. <br><br>In many respects Nigel is a very ordinary dog; charming, handsome and obedient, as so many are. He is a much loved <b>family pet</b>. He is also a star. By telling Nigel''s story, Monty relates his relationships with the other special dogs in his life in <b>a memoir of his dogs past and very much present</b>. <br><br>Witty, touching and life-affirming, <i><b>Nigel: My family and other dogs</b></i> is wonderfully heart-warming. Monty Don is a great writer coming out of the garden and into the hearts and homes of <b>every dog lover</b> in the UK.<br><br><b><i>''I have always had a dog, or dogs. I cannot imagine life without them. I am just as much a fan of Nigel as any besotted viewer. In the book I explore why we love dogs and what they mean to us emotionally and domestically. I look back on all the dogs in my life - all of which I have loved deeply and which have been an essential part of my life. So, this is the book of Nigel - but also the book of all our dogs in every British family and a celebration of the deep love we feel for them'' </i>Monty Don</b></p>
