Publisher's Summary
When Monty Don's golden retriever, Nigel, became the surprise star of BBC's Gardeners' World, inspiring huge interest, fan mail and even his own social media accounts, Monty Don wanted to explore what makes us connect with animals quite so deeply.
In many respects Nigel is a very ordinary dog - charming, handsome and obedient, as so many are. He is also a much loved family pet. He is also a star. By telling Nigel's story, Monty relates his relationships with other special dogs in his life in a memoir of his dogs past and very much present.
Witty, touching and life affirming, Nigel: My Family and Other Dogs is wonderfully heartwarming. Monty Don is a great writer coming out of the garden and into the hearts and homes of every dog lover in the UK.
'I have always had a dog or dogs. I cannot imagine life without them. I am just as much a fan of Nigel as any besotted viewer. In the book I explore why we love dogs and what they mean to us emotionally and domestically. I look back on all the dogs in my life - all of which I have loved deeply and which have been an essential part of my life. So, this is the book of Nigel - but also the book of all our dogs in every British family and a celebration of the deep love we feel for them.' (Monty Don)

Wonderful
Like all Motny's writing, this is great, and benefits from his comforting narration. But it is also deeply emotional, sad and joyous, profound and comic. Indeed, just like man's best friend.

Loved this book
Monty Don's voice is such a pleasure to listen to, and his obvious love of his dogs and gardens make this a wonderful read.

Wonderful bedtime listen!
Wonderful heart warming tales of a man and his dogs. I absolutely love Monty don and could listen to his soothing voice forever but I’m also a big fan of Nigels! So hearing his story through Monty’s voice is a must listen for me and anyone who are fans of Monty Nigel or both.
