“Lassie Come-Home” by Eric Knight. Part of the Famous Dog Stories Series by Grosset & Dunlap Publishers. Published in New York, dated 1940.
A timeless classic, this novel tells the heartwarming and heroic story of Lassie, a devoted collie who travels hundreds of miles from the Scottish Highlands back to her young master, Joe, in Yorkshire.
This book was originally published as a short story in The Saturday Evening Post in 1938. Lassie Come-Home became an instant classic when expanded into a novel in 1940. It was the first book to introduce Lassie, who went on to become a cultural icon through subsequent film and television adaptations, beginning with the MGM film Lassie Come Home in 1943, starring Roddy McDowall and Elizabeth Taylor. Eric Knight’s portrayal of Lassie set the standard for stories about loyal and heroic animals and contributed significantly to the enduring appeal of dog literature in the 20th century.
