Summary

Written by award-winning poet, and like Eliot himself, a fellow former editor of Faber and Faber, Old Toffer's Book of Consequential Dogs is the first companion volume to Eliot's original volume. Originally conceived by Eliot himself, Old Toffer's Book of Consequential Dogs includes a selection of paired poems about all manner of memorable "pollicles" (Eliot's companion name to his "jellicle" cats) that are as witty, varied and exquisitely compiled as Eliot's cats. Meet Dobson the Dog Detective, Flo the Philosophical Foxhound, and Frazzlesprat, a dog who would really rather be a cat and a host of other humorous hounds
