About the Book

Good news for Dog re-homing Charities. After all costs have been deducted, Copyright holders, Steve Plant and Dana Freeman have agreed to donate the royalties from this edition of The Red Setter to dog re-homing charities. Steve Plant was asked by Dana Freeman if he would complete her late husband's manuscript which comprised of just 6 chapters and chapter headings, hand written on air mail paper. This is the result. An exciting tale of a young boy's development as he becomes inseparable from his new found friend, his Dog Red. Jamie hadn't really wanted another dog after the death of his beloved 'Duke', but his dad and Old Jock, by subterfuge, persuade Jamie to take a greyhound pup born to Jock's red setter, Sheila. Jamie names the pup Red, and after weeks of chasing rabbits in the hills near to home, Jamie realises he has much more than just a pet greyhound. Soon it becomes clear that winning the ultimate prize in greyhound racing, The Greyhound Derby may not be just a dream. Three less than honest rogues, interested only in making money, also have their eyes set on the ultimate prize and the money jackpot that accompanies it. They are unaware of a link to Jamie's dog, Red. Clever planning ensures that the Jamie's and the brothers' dogs run their early races in different parts of the country and never meet in competition. The race is on. Each of the dogs is very successful, but it is inevitable that they are to meet for the Honour of Winning the Greyhound Derby

Review :
I've just finished! It's brilliant; it kept me gripped from page 6 onwards. A great story and many good lessons to be learned RONNIE AMES, FLITTON An easy read that will no doubt captivate children as much as it did me. A really good book that you just don't want to put down. I thoroughly enjoyed it. When is the next one? SHERAL WILSON, BEDFORDSHIRE Easy progressive read through each chapter Simple storyline yet informative insight into dog racing A very endearing story TRACY BONNER, SILSOE I felt the story was clearly laid out and you instantly knew the characters and the roles they played within the story, with new characters which joined later. At the start in each chapter it covered the different characters which later came together with Jock and Rory and their dogs Red and Sheila. It was interesting to read about Rory's boy 'Red' and the journey he followed to get to the competition and eventually win a big race! The only bit i thought was a little confusing was the two characters in the pub and how they planned to steal a certain type of dog, I'm not sure how they fitted into the story? I found the book a good read and kept me interested which would be great for the kids. SUSAN SETHI, HORNCHURCH I read this book in one session, it's a well balanced and easy read. I'm not sure who the main character is, is it Red or his owner?, both of them appear after a few chapters and their life together and experiences form the basis of the storyline. I'm sure many people will identify with the life of a young boy and his pet dog but not many could know the feeling of what this friendship would achieve. For many young adults the morals of the story are a good learning experience with winning and friendship benefiting a worthy charity. An enjoyable easy read which held my attention until the final sentence. NEIL BOULTON, SOUTHPORT Review of 'The Red Setter' This is a story that should appeal to anyone who loves dogs. It is an easy, pleasant read that reminds me of the 'Enid Blyton' style books of my childhood. It is also a good introduction to the world of greyhound racing. Readers are treated to the journey of Red's rise to becoming a top racer with the help of his young owner. Like all good stories there is also a darker element culminating in the important Derby race - but will our hero triumph? Readers will warm to Red's owner, Jamie who loves his dog and is not interested in making money from him - in fact all his winnings go to Greyhound Rehoming charities - as do proceeds from the book itself. The book is aimed at 10-16 year olds, but I believe will be enjoyed by younger children too. JOANNE BLAKEMAN, TORQUAY An uplifting tale for children, with some colourful characters, brought to life in this truly enjoyable story. Warm and fun! CLAIRE EDDY, BEDFORDSHIRE
