When Monty Don's golden retriever Nigel became the surprise star of BBC Gardeners' World inspiring huge interest, fan mail and even his own social media accounts, Monty Don wanted to explore what makes us connect with animals quite so deeply.
In many respects Nigel is a very ordinary dog; charming, handsome and obedient, as so many are. He is also a much loved family pet. He is also a star. By telling Nigel's story, Monty relates his relationships with other special dogs in his life in a memoir of his dogs past and very much present.
Witty, touching and life-affirming, Nigel: My family and other dogs is wonderfully heart-warming. Monty Don is a great writer coming out of the garden and into the hearts and homes of every dog lover in the UK.

'I have always had a dog, or dogs. I cannot imagine life without them. I am just as much a fan of Nigel as any besotted viewer. In the book I explore why we love dogs and what they mean to us emotionally and domestically. I look back on all the dogs in my life - all of which I have loved deeply and which have been an essential part of my life. So, this is the book of Nigel - but also the book of all our dogs in every British family and a celebration of the deep love we feel for them' Monty Don

Humane, engaging and eloquent

Like all Motny's writing, this is great, and benefits from his comforting narration. But it is also deeply emotional, sad and joyous, profound and comic. Indeed, just like man's best friend.

Wonderful

Wonderful heart warming tales of a man and his dogs. I absolutely love Monty don and could listen to his soothing voice forever but I’m also a big fan of Nigels! So hearing his story through Monty’s voice is a must listen for me and anyone who are fans of Monty Nigel or both.

Wonderful bedtime listen!
