Queenie of the Hills - A Dog’s Royal Life in Mussoorie

  • ₹ 250.00


A humorous and evocative tale for Adults of all ages”

From her palatial turreted eyrie in the hills of Mussoorie, royal canine Queenie gives an exclusive peak into the life of  her seemingly rarified abode. In a series of amusing anecdotal tales, she offers witty observations and insights on human follies and behavior along with tidbits of  intrigue and gup’n gossip.

Born a member of the notable working-dog Gaddi breed, Queenie has risen to unexpected heights - both literally and figuratively, as she lives up to  her position as Queen of the Castle, the top -dog of the Pookajeet Palace.
 
Queenie chronicles her triumphs and travails, tinged with  doses of  satire, while narrating exploits with a memorable cast of  characters - most of whom she  parodies. Queenie also reflects on life’s lessons, and values universally shared by all species.
