I am a Wolfhound parent and the author of books about this majestic breed. I have studied everything I could find about the Wolfhound since I first lost my heart to one many years ago, meeting breeders and owners alike to learn everything I could about their temperament and health. I have attended many dog shows and symposiums to further my knowledge of my breed. Having shared my life with this dog, unlike any other, I devour books written by other Wolfhound owners.
A beautifully written book that brings the magic of the Irish Wolfhound to the reader.
This collection of fairy tales and poems invites us into the mystical world where the Wolfhound was king. A heartwarming tribute to the enormous heart of this gentle giant. It speaks to the soul of anyone who has met one of these loving, kind creatures. I could read it again and again.
I always longed for a wolfhound. I watched documentaries about them, read books about them, and finally, traveled to Ireland and met my first real ones. They were my fairy tales, until a living flesh and fur giant came to share my home and heart. There is really no way to describe to someone what it is like to share your home with these gentle, goofy, stubborn, and loving friends. I hope these fairy tales bring a little bit of their magic into each reader’s heart. They truly have the strength of lions while possessing the souls of lambs.
A wonderful retelling of the legend of Gelert the Wolfhound.
This story of bravery and loyalty, starring the world's largest dog breed, takes the reader on an adventure of tremendous magnitude. I fell in love with the illustrations, I laughed at the jokes. I adored the book. This is one you will keep in your library for rereading.
Pustulent, filth and fart filled adventure told on an epic, dog infested scale. The epic retelling of the legend of Gelert the Wolfhound, now fully illustrated by the author with over 230 wrist manglingly detailed drawings. While Welshmen die fighting English invaders, Prince Llewelyn is forced to study Plato. But then a mighty Chinese war fleet arrives, offering to annihilate Wales’s hated enemy. Their price? Llewelyn’s oldest friend, the mighty wolfhound, Gelert. Boy and dog are stolen in the night and dragged across storm tossed oceans and scorpion-infested deserts in a nightmare journey involving flying dogs, berserk baboons, and thousand-year-old…
The Festival of Sin is a three-story light sci-fi arc about a young boy rescued in 6000 BCE and taken to the home planet of the Hudra. Parts two and three are exploratory excursions. It's a fish-out-of-water series. More than fish-out-of-water. Fish-on-another-planet.
This is one of my special favorites. I know Amanda personally and knew and grew to love the real Millie and Bridie.
Arohuani is a magical kingdom ruled by Irish Wolfhound Queen Millie. When a dark force rises in the land, her daughter, Princess Bridie leads an army of wolfhounds to defeat the evil. This is one of my favorite books because it transports the reader to a world ruled by gently, loving hounds. I reread it yearly.
In the magical kingdom Arohanui, ruled by the wise and gentle Wolfhounds of the royal house of Kuri te Aroha, a dark force rises. The queen's daughter Bridie commands the guard of the only passage into the kingdom but as vigilant as she and her ladies are, evil finds its entry into their stronghold. They must forge unexpected alliances with others of their kind, along with the magical and unusual creatures of the kingdom, if they are to defeat this evil.
The Battle for Arohanui will be fierce, from the mountains, across the plains and to the shores of the…
This book is a must read for anyone considering getting an Irish Wolfhound or anyone who falls in love with one.
Bob's stories of his life with these giant dogs will warm your heart, make you laugh until you cry, and sometimes break your heart. His 20 year experience of living with dogs the size of small horses will have you rolling on the floor and crack your heart in two.
I love this book because I am the parent of Wolfhounds and Bob describes the challenges and rewards of sharing your life with a being that loves unconditionally, with a love as large as their valiant hearts and a personality as big as their bodies. Another book that I read numerous times, during the year.
A fast-paced literary thriller with a strong sci-fi element and loaded with existential questions. Beyond the entertainment value, this book takes a hard look at the perilous world of publishing, which is on a crash course to meet the nascent, no-holds-barred world of AI. Could these worlds co-exist, or will…

This book (and its sequels) are about overcoming the odds; about learning to improve the skills and abilities you have, rather than dwelling on what you can't do. Conflict, plague, and scheming politicians are all featured along the way–but none of the characters are human!
The dragons of Yuro have been hunted to extinction.
