Danny the Champion of the World. A Poachers Tale. Lurchers and Longdogs. All "BB"'s books.   That photo of the saluki with his gazelle in Walsh's L&L's was a really big influence for me....

I have Alex, me mum had it. Used to hear her talk to neigbours about it. I was facinated by the cover, the yellow one with the sketch of the kids with no shoes. And so i picked it up. It was a facinating but horrible read, very sad and i put it down welling up a few times. Never read a book of that type since. Never wanted to.
