Here's a soulful portrait of
Greyfriars Bobby. It's from the pages of
Aileen Aroon: a memoir, with other tales of faithful friends and favourites, written (and illustrated? The book doesn't say!) by Gordon Stables and published in London in 1884. I can't let the dedication go by unremarked: "This Book is dedicated to my wee Daughter FREDABEL INEZ GORDON, By her fond Papa."
That dedication is a lovely insight into the timelessness of parental love.
