IceMaiden wrote:Surely it's not just coincidence that Shadow the Sheepdog was published in 1942 right at the height of Lassie's popularity. I think Enid Blyton wrote it after seeing how successful a story about a boy and his dog was and of course Lassie would have made the collie the dog to choose.I wonder how many more short stories there are relating to books that were not included in the actual book.

Blyton was a prolific author of children's books, who penned an estimated 800 books over about 40 years. Her stories were often either children's adventure and mystery stories, or fantasies involving magic. Notable series include: The Famous Five, The Secret Seven, The Five Find-Outers, Noddy, The Wishing Chair, Mallory Towers, and St. Clare's.Often think of it especially if i see a w Welsh Collie dog. Thought the book would have been long forgotten by people Forgotten the title or the author of a book? Our BookSleuth is specially designed for you. Visit BookSleuth Here is The Ninth Holiday Book version of the same story illustrated by 'Leo'.I really like the illustrations in this slightly later version. Johnny called the dog Shadow, as he was constantly by his side. He trained the puppy himself, and Shadow also learnt many ways from the other dogs on the farm. There was Jessie; she guarded the house and the yard. Tinker, Rafe, and Dandy were all sheep dogs. Bob was a mongrel, but still worked the sheep, and belonged to Andy the shepherd. Yes...I make the same observation in my article in the Summer Journal. I am sure Enid was inspired by the Lassie films/books when she wrote about Shadow. It shares quite a few similarities.
