Beatrix The Time Travelling Collie

Beautiful, intelligent, caring, loyal, funny, energetic, and stone-obsessed; if Beatrix had been a human, which she believed she was, she would probably have been a head teacher.

This is the story of Beatrix the Border Collie — told with love, laughter, and more than a little Yorkshire grit by her devoted owner, Debra Murphy, who also narrates this audiobook in her own voice. Because who better to tell Beatrix's story than the woman who lived every moment of it?

This is a tale of companionship and adventure — funny, frightening, and at times mystical, but always revealing the true nature of one utterly remarkable dog. With warmth and wit, it looks at human life, habits and language as seen through a Border Collie's eyes.

Their adventures include a real-life Lassie-style rescue on a Scottish mountain, finding a hypothermic human, and accidentally herding skiers. Beatrix also travels through time, where her adventures have no limit.

Life for Beatrix revolves around her obsessions — mainly sticks, stones and balls. But then there is Baby Jesus from the handmade nativity scene, who comes out each year. She was never allowed to eat him, though.

Which tales are true, and which are fiction?

Only Beatrix knows for sure.
