Summary
Life, dogs, nature, and scurrilous gossip - all on the edge of Putney Common.
During the ten years she lived at the edge of Putney Common, Jilly Cooper walked daily on this expanse of green. For most of the time she lived there, she kept a diary, noting the effects of the changing seasons and writing about her encounters with dogs and humans. The book is a distillation of those diaries - an affectionate and enthralling portrait - warts and all - of life on Putney Common.

Critics Review
Miss Cooper’s life is a curiously endearing mixture of Joyce Grenfell and August Strindberg - endlessly gracious neighbourly occasions undercut and made bearable by a home life of wonderfully chaotic neurosis and catastrophes - highlighted by sudden and marvellous insights into neighbours and former friends – Sheridan MorleyAn entrancing book – Lynda Lee-Potter * Daily Mail *A brilliant and beloved book and absolutely unputdownable – Elizabeth LongfordSo observant… a delightful book – Valerie Singleton * Daily Express *
