Shadow the Sheepdog

Product Information

This is another story, I never read as a child. Of all the Blyton books I've read, this is the only one I can say, to my mind, was written from the heart. Enid's love of animals, dogs, farms, and nature comes to its own in this book. She writes from Shadow's viewpoint, and this includes all the other dogs. They teach Shadow, from a puppy themselves, and grow to love this adorable dog, who goes on to win sheep dog trials, and becomes a faster runner than any of the other dogs. Johnny adores him and he sleeps every night on his little master's bed. Johnny understands everything that the dog is trying to tell him, and Shadow too understands everything that Johnny and his parents say. A typical Blyton story with lots of adventures full of life lessons and values for young readers (and probably a few older readers also) to learn such as being honest, respectful, working hard to achieve your goals, the strong bonds of friendship, and being humble. Often think of it especially if i see a w Welsh Collie dog. Thought the book would have been long forgotten by people Yes...I make the same observation in my article in the Summer Journal. I am sure Enid was inspired by the Lassie films/books when she wrote about Shadow. It shares quite a few similarities.

Two sheepdogs cross in and out of the passing shadows. The clouds drift over the hill with a storm : Richard Long, Lisson Publications, Summer 1971 Johnny called the dog Shadow, as he was constantly by his side. He trained the puppy himself, and Shadow also learnt many ways from the other dogs on the farm. There was Jessie; she guarded the house and the yard. Tinker, Rafe, and Dandy were all sheep dogs. Bob was a mongrel, but still worked the sheep, and belonged to Andy the shepherd. Blyton was a prolific author of children's books, who penned an estimated 800 books over about 40 years.

Here is The Ninth Holiday Book version of the same story illustrated by 'Leo'.I really like the illustrations in this slightly later version. As the title states, this story is about Shadow, a sheep dog, born on the farm from one of the other sheep dogs. Her name was Jessie and she had three pups, two were sold, and the third was also sold, but kept returning to the farm, and so the son of the farmer, a boy called Johnny was allowed to keep the pup, providing the dog worked for his living, as did the other dogs on the farm.

IceMaiden wrote:Surely it's not just coincidence that Shadow the Sheepdog was published in 1942 right at the height of Lassie's popularity. I think Enid Blyton wrote it after seeing how successful a story about a boy and his dog was and of course Lassie would have made the collie the dog to choose. It so happens that I read this book quite recently, so I can definitely say it is not in the book (and it is a fairly early edition). I must save that so I can read it later on. (I'm at a library, and I tend not to actually read things there, where time is often short.) My boys (6&3) absolutely loved this one! A 1952 version of the book was being passed around my wider family and all the nieces and nephews ended up talking like dogs when recounting the tales and adventures of Johnny and Shadow. This book is in the public domain in Canada, and is made available to you DRM-free. You may do whatever you like with this book, but mostly we hope you will read it. There is no plot to this story; every chapter is about what Shadow got up to that particular day. Towards the end of the book, the farm is struggling financially, and an American asks if he can buy Shadow, as he's just seen him winning at the trials. Enid I think wrote this in the book, so that the reader would be genuinely upset, and rather alarmed that the farmer could even consider selling such a wonderful dog. You can't put a price on the love that a dog gives you so unconditionally, but Enid does put a price on this, and I'm happy to say, that Shadow doesn't get sold. An unfortunate accident happens, that temporarily blinds Shadow, but the dog soon recovers, and stays with the family, where he rightly belongs.Even though this book is nearly 70yrs old it’s still a lovely book for parents to read to their kids, younger readers to read for themselves, and even older readers to reminisce fondly a favourite book from their childhood.
