This is an automatically translated description

This book contains an adapted text of the famous novel Lassie Comes Home (1940), written by the Anglo-American writer and screenwriter Eric Knight (1897-1943), who gave the world the image of Collie Lassie, one of the most popular dog characters in cinema.

This is a story about loyalty and love. Joe, the son of an English miner, considered himself the happiest, and all dog breeders envied him, because there was no such purebred collie in the whole of England. Every day, Lassie came to school to meet him, but one day she didn't come. At home, he received terrible news - his parents sold the dog to get out of debt. But for the faithful Lassie, there was only one owner - the boy Joe. A high fence, a chain, and a distance of hundreds of kilometres did not stop Lassie from being with the one she loves and who is waiting for her. Joe doesn't believe in miracles anymore, but the brave collie wants to return home. Lassie overcomes hunger, thirst, severe wounds, and numerous trials in order to meet Joe at school at four o'clock sharp.
