Produktbeschreibung
A Wolf in the Kitchen is the prequel to Jim's first book, SLED DOG GUN: AVIEMORE DREAMING. In 1987 Jim and Cherry bought their very first Siberian Husky... Hustler. On showing him to people for the first time, they were asked the inevitable question: "Is that a baby wolf?" A year later in the Summer of 1988 a small advert in a local paper changed their lives forever. They discovered the sport of "dog sledding." Over the next 15 years, more dogs were bought until they had eleven. What follows is the story of these years and is both highly amusing, and often downright funny. After much perseverance, and some frustration, Jim transforms these dogs into one of the fastest teams in Great Britain. With it came recognition that he never imagined, and he and his team found fame on national radio and TV and played a part in a major movie film. A lovely easy read that is suitable for all ages.
