At under two-hundred pages, this is a fast and fun read with one of the best deer hounds ever written into a book.It’s a fab story all-round and perfect for sharing at bedtime: with beautiful, expressive illustrations, it’s gentle enough to help wind down, but with sufficient (low-key) excitement to maintain interest and keep the pages turning.

In coursing deer, a single Deerhound or a pair was brought as close as possible to red deer, then released to run one of them down by speed, which if successful would happen within a few minutes [4] — rarely were there successful sustained chases. The Deerhound was bred to hunt red deer by coursing and deer-stalking [4] [5] until the end of the 19th century. The story has a lovely happy end full of loyalty and friendship between owner and pet, but also dogs and foxes - and the message to respect all animals and to never give up.

Young Deerhounds can sometimes, depending on the individual, be quite destructive especially when they are not given sufficient exercise; however, the average adult Deerhound may want to spend most of the day stretched out on the floor or a couch, sleeping. Both my 7 and 5 year old loved it (although they don't own a dog or other pet) and even myself, I couldn't wait to see what would happen in the next chapter.

Meanwhile, Charlie doesn’t know what to do – but one thing is for sure: he’ll never stop looking for his dear hound. However, one chapter in and I realised I actually wanted to find out what happened next and so did my daughter.
