Description

Before that tragic day on November 22, 1963, the Kennedy years were filled with hope and promise. As the White House gardener put it, they were also filled with children and dogs. The Dogs of Camelotilluminates the inside story of the Kennedys’ lifelong love of dogs and the unparalleled canine corps they brought to the White House. The American public only saw glimpses of the many Kennedy pets because of the zealous way Jackie Kennedy guarded her family’s privacy. Through cooperation with the Kennedy Library, the authors have access to rare and previously unpublished photos and stories that present a fascinating angle about the Kennedys that is deeply revealing about their character and compassion.

You don't need to be a dog lover or a history aficionado to enjoy The Dogs of Camelot: Stories of the Kennedy Canines. But be warned. Reading this charming, well-researched, and fascinating book by Dr. Margaret Reed and Joan Lownds might transform you into both. The accessible text combines the public and domestic lives of the late President John F. Kennedy and his family. Page by page, the reader become acutely aware that canines provided the President and his family a bit of joy and normalcy amid the many hardships, sorrows, and unexpected crises that characterize any presidency. Well worth the read, this sure-to-be popular tome offers a portrait of the Kennedy family we have not yet viewed in full. Five stars!
