    About this ebook

    In this wonderful book, F. H. Lee retells ten delightful stories about dogs that are full of charm and cheek. Illustrated with adorable black and white line drawings by Honor C. Appleton. Many of the earliest children's books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Pook Press are working to republish these classic works in affordable, high quality editions, using the original text and artwork so these works can delight another generation of children. About the Illustrator: Honor Charlotte Appleton (1879-1951) was known for her delicate watercolour illustrations influenced by Kate Greenaway and Arthur Rackham. She illustrated more than 100 children's books during her career including Alice in Wonderland, Aladdin, and Black Beauty but it was for her editions of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales and her illustrations of Josephine in H. C. Craddock's series that she received most universal acclaim.

      The Children's Book Of Dogs - Illustrated by Honor C. Appleton - F. H. Lee

      I

      The Artist’s Dog

      SIR EDWIN LANDSEER, the artist, was a great lover of animals, and when only a very young boy he began to paint many pictures of them. He was especially fond of dogs, and they seemed to understand and love him as much as he loved and understood them. He drew and painted them so often that at school he was known as the little dog boy.

      When he grew up he became famous as an artist, and Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were among his friends. He had one beautiful dog, and many, many times Landseer painted pictures of him. The dog, however, grew tired of having to sit still so long and so frequently, and at last showed his master very plainly that he would rather not be chosen as a model.

      One day Landseer called him to the studio to be painted, and telling him to sit down, said, "This is the last time I shall ask you, the very last." The dog wagged his tail to show he understood and sat patiently to the end. Then he ran off, happy at the thought of his master’s promise.

      For some months all went well, then one day a friend of Landseer’s called at the studio, and, seeing the dog, said, This is a jolly dog of yours, I should like to paint him.

      Certainly, replied Landseer, forgetting for the time all about his promise, and he whistled to the dog and bade him sit down.

      The dog, however, jumped up in surprise. He looked at his master as if to say, Don’t you remember? And when told once more to sit for his portrait, he suddenly threw back his head and uttered one long dismal howl. Then in a flash he sprang out of the window and disappeared.

      They sought for him everywhere, but he was not to be found. Landseer had broken his promise, and the dog had completely vanished; nor did he return until long after the visitor had left the studio.

      II

      Flambeau, the Mail Carrier

      FLAMBEAU was one of the most famous dogs in the French army and lived at Grenoble, near the Alps. Now about nine thousand feet up one of the mountains near by, was the Fort of Solières, where soldiers were stationed as guards, and it was Flambeau’s work to carry letters up to the fort each week.
