Description

Jules Verne's ScotlandThis book weaves in all the reasons why the residents of Scotland love to live here; landscape, beautiful scenery, an air of mystery and the great history of the land. This book also explains how Verne's love for Scotland flooded into his literature. I still see, as in a vision, beautiful picturesque Edinburgh, with its Heart of Midlothian, and many entrancing memories; the Highlands, world forgotten Iona, and the wild Hebrides. JULES VERNE, 1895

I still see, as in a vision, beautiful picturesque Edinburgh, with its Heart of Midlothian, and many entrancing memories; the Highlands, world-forgotten Iona, and the wild Hebrides. JULES VERNE, 1895

Jules Verne's first visit to Scotland lasted a mere five days, but that was enough to instil within him a lifelong passion for the small country; a passion which had a profound impact on his literary work and fuelled his creative imagination.

Two journeys, 20 years apart, and five novels set partly or wholly in Scotland, show how the influence of the country rippled all the way through his life. Jules Verne's Scotland guides the reader through Verne's journeys, first in 1859 and again in 1879, where he witnessed the majesty of Edinburgh and the industrial buzz of Glasgow together with the unspoilt beauty of the Highlands and Islands.

As well as providing insights into Verne's travels in Scotland, Ian Thompson provides analysis of novels such as The Underground City and The Green Ray that immortalise Scotland in their pages. Thompson evokes the history of the land, the rugged scenery and the enduring spirit of Scotland, which remained in Verne's memory all his life and was evoked with passion in his storytelling.

Good quality, lotsa fun
Not easy to find a sturdy toy for a minipoodle that loves to play rough with his toy. He has not been able to break this into pieces and that feels reassuring that I don't have to worry about little pieces and choking. These things bounce funny and my boy loves playing with it

Necessary for a small dog.
These are great for a small dog! They can get their mouth around it unlike a round ball. My dog is obsessed with these. They are great for making him love a new guest to the house. All they have to do is squeak and throw the toy and they have a new friend!

Great for little dogs but squeaker breaks too easily
My Maltese is about 4.5 pounds and absolutely loves these! He got very excited to play with it right away. The shape is like a slightly flattened ball which is great bc he can pick it up in his tiny mouth. It’s actually quite cute to see him run with it back to me. When you throw it, the way it bounces and rolls is very unpredictable, which I think adds to the fun. Sometimes my pup drops it while running back and it goes rolling or awkwardly bouncing away from him which causes him to get more excited to chase it and grab it again. It’s been a highly entertaining toy for almost a week straight. The only downside is that the squeaker in it isn’t very durable. After a few days of playing and chewing to squeak it himself, the squeaker barely makes any noise. My pup isn’t an aggressive chewer at all so if your dog is an aggressive chewer, the squeaker really will not last.

G for small dogs
My Havanese absolutely loves these small toys, which we refer to as pucks. They are the perfect size for him. His previous favorite was a small green pig, but ever since we purchased these for his second birthday, he has shown no interest in the pig. They are easy to throw and fit comfortably in his mouth. I plan to purchase more. I would not recommend for strong chewers. My only complaint is I wish they all had happy or crazy faces instead of angry or sad ones.
