Greyfriars Bobby (The Corbies series)

A constant favourite, this colour illustrated book tells the lovely story of a loyal dog who sat and waited for his master in Edinburgh. After his master died, the dog still waited for him by his grave in Greyfriars Kirk, and the local people of Edinburgh fed and looked after Bobby until he quickly became known as ‘Greyfriars Bobby’.

Today a memorial statue marks the spot near where he waited on George IV Bridge in Edinburgh. Children and adults alike love this story of loyalty and friendship.

The Corbies is a series of twelve bestselling and treasured classics aimed at children 7+. The books are illustrated in colour throughout and are simple, charming and colourful, helping children understand history in a very accessible way. Popular with teachers, the books provide an invaluable teaching aid.
