The author Geoffrey Durham has kindly sent us the following review of the hardback edition:

I often see books described as 'suitable for all ages' and wonder if it can possibly be true, but DOGLAND RESCUE is that and more, Crammed with subtle - and sometimes not so subtle - jokes, it's the story of kidnapped dogs rescued by a group of canines who work together for the greater good. Everyone in the story is a dog, there are no humans at all, and it's a non-stop delight. Sumptuously produced, with beautiful illustrations in full colour, it's a great read for everyone, as they say, from nine to ninety.

Helen (Bute):

A really immersive and sustained story, with such witty, detailed and lovely drawings. I think this will give the youngsters I'm sending it to a different experience of books and getting lost in an extended story.

Rachel (Bristol):

As the Christmas season is upon us, I want to recommend this wonderful graphic novel by Martin Lloyd. It’s full of canine charm, boyish humour, and beautiful images of the Thames Valley drawn by the author and painted by illustrator Layn Marlow. I’ve been reading and savouring it slowly and enjoying its loving attention to detail, playful allusions (including to modernist writers!) and a message of friendship and kindness.
