Lassie is Joe's prize collie and constant companion. But when Joe's father loses his job, Lassie must be sold.

But Lassie is not just any dog.

About the Author
Eric Knight was born in 1897 in Yorkshire, England, the countryside that was the background for Lassie Come-Home. He moved to the United States as a teenager. After graduating from Cambridge Latin School in Massachusetts, Eric Knight married and settled on a farm in Pennsylvania, where Lassie Come-Home was written and where the collie who inspired the book is buried.
