Description

FINDING GREYFRIARS BOBBY is the heart-warming true story of the young stray dog from the Isle of Lewis that was selected to be the star of the 1961 film, Greyfriars Bobby. Written by a member of the family who adopted Bobby, the book contains details about the film, his subsequent celebrity status in Edinburgh, anecdotes of life living with him and private family photos never been made public before. The main plot begins nearly half a century after Bobby was buried on private land in the Scottish Borders at a funeral fit for a film star. When it's discovered that his gravestone and monument were destroyed years ago and the land is about to become a building site, the author is compelled to act. He embarks on a quest to find Bobby's lost grave before he's lost forever and bring him 'home' to a new permanent resting place near his famous namesake at Greyfriars Kirk in Edinburgh. Along the way, he's joined by like-minded volunteers, who show the best of human spirit as they attempt to defy overwhelming odds. Can they succeed in this race against time?
