When Clinton journeys to join his mother in London, he must leave the quiet life of the island behind: his Gran and Uncle Clinton, the quiet afternoons spent fishing and roaming the beach, and, perhaps most importantly of all, his old dog, Rufus. But amongst all of this change, the pull of nature and the presence of 'a boy's best friend' are never far away.A Boy's Best Friend is one in a series of Country Tales, written by award-winning children's author Nicola Davies and illustrated by Cathy Fisher.
