<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>
