Synopsis
Once upon a time in Provence, Peter Mayle adopted a dog of uncertain origins and dubious hunting skills and gave him a name--Boy. Now he gives this canny canine a voice in an irresistible "memoir" that proves that the best vantage point for observing life may well be on all fours. As Boy recounts his progress from an overcrowded maternal bosom to unchallenged mastery of the Mayle household, he tells us why dogs are drawn to humans ("our most convenient support system") and chickens ("that happy combination of sport and nourishment"). We share in his amorous dalliances, his run-ins with French plumbers and cats, and in the tidbits (both conversational and edible) of his owners' dinner parties. Enhanced by fifty-nine splendidly whimsical drawings by Edward Koren, A Dog's Life gives us all the delights we expect from any book by Peter Mayle--pedigree prose, biting wit, and a keen nose for the fragrance of civilization--together with the insouciant wisdom of which only a dog (and probably only Peter Mayle's dog) is capable.

Seller feedback (499)
- r***e (419)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseGood Seller , communicated with me right away when there was an issue with shipping , that package was stuck in one location for extended period and eventually considered lost. Seller initiated a refund promptly. Even though I never received product I appreciate this sellers initiative to follow through to verify shipped product arrives and to give a refund right away when there was a problem.
- e***u (47)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseItem very well packaged and looks new. Shipping was slow due to usps (package got held up in sorting facility). The seller communicated with me every step of the way and tried to resolve the shipping issue. I have no complaints with the seller and wouldn't hesitate to buy from them again.
- i***l (406)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseExcellent eBay seller! Great communicator, allowed for additional items, combined shipping, and thoughtfully packed and wrapped each item! Even with the delivery driver plopping down the package, all 21 pounds of glass arrived undamaged and rested as if just having taken a beauty nap. I am glad I treated myself to my first set of matching Pyrex. Beautiful set of bowls, thank you!Pyrex Glass Bowl Turquoise Blue Set Of 6, 6 Inch, Set Of 7, 7 Inch Bowls W/lids (#286179047072)
