The dog is question is small and disreputable and wedded to city life - think Discworld's Gaspode but without the brains. This amount includes seller specified domestic postage charges as well as applicable international postage, dispatch, and other fees. Three Points of the Compass is not a particularly doggy type chap, nor is this book particularly well written.

In the second story, the author and Boogie take a rowing boat along the Thames, from London to its source in the wilds of Wilts/Glos - also an enjoyable light read only slightly marred by the introduction of a repellent love interest! Two books in one, I enjoyed the walk around the South West Coastpath more than the rowing up the Thames river.

This wouldn't make much of a traveller's guide but, what he does do and say is easy-going, well phrased and gently amusing.
