Grand: The Autobiography of Gromit: as told to Nick Park

Yes, I'm a dog. And I'm the one writing the book.

Reading guide

This is a standalone book, so you can start reading straight away with no earlier reading needed.

The publisher's blurb presents the book as written by a dog: Gromit, the beagle who has never said a word on screen, speaks directly to the reader about his own life. The premise is kept deliberately light, so the pleasure lies in his voice rather than in a plot to be spoiled.

Description

For a dog who has never said a word on screen, Gromit has a great deal to say. Here, at last, the long-suffering beagle tells his own story, as told to Nick Park, the man who created him and his cheese-loving inventor companion, Wallace. The opening line sets the tone: dry, unflustered and entirely sure of itself.

A warm treat for anyone who has grown up with Wallace and Gromit, and for anyone who always suspected the dog was the brains of the operation.
