Book Synopsis

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

NIGEL - One of Britain''s favourite dogs! MONTY DON - One of Britain''s favourite presenters.

When Monty Don''s golden retriever Nigel became the surprise star of BBC Gardeners'' World inspiring huge interest, fan mail and his own social media accounts, Monty Don wanted to explore what makes us connect with animals quite so deeply.

In many respects Nigel is a very ordinary dog; charming, handsome and obedient, as so many are. He is a much loved family pet. He is also a star. By telling Nigel''s story, Monty relates his relationships with the other special dogs in his life in a memoir of his dogs past and very much present.

Witty, touching and life-affirming, Nigel: My family and other dogs is wonderfully heart-warming. Monty Don is a great writer coming out of the garden and into the hearts and homes of every dog lover in the UK.
