Dear Clementina Trailer
A chance meeting between two twelve-week-old puppies in a Manchester park leads to a series of letters from young Stanley to his new friend Clementina. Based on true events viewed through canine eyes, this work is a collection of that correspondence, and reflects upon the quirky world of humans, dogs and the interaction between the two.
In this deliciously humorous work from the creative mind of Colin Burke, listeners will delight not only in recognising their own pets, but also themselves and their fellow dog walkers. But you don’t have to be a dog-owner to appreciate Stanley’s letters as their comedy will appeal to everybody. And anybody contemplating getting a puppy should take advantage of Stanley’s wit and insight to help them in taking that fateful step of joining the ranks of the dog-owning fraternity. Pick up Stanley’s narrative and immerse yourself in the humorous, blossoming friendship of two adorable Border Terrier puppies!
Following on from the sell-out book of his letters to his friend, Stanley the Border Terrier has put the audiobook of DEAR CLEMENTINA on the internet for everybody to listen to FREE of charge. So now you can follow the antics of our hero, which have received five star reviews on both sides of the Atlantic, and keep yourself amused and smiling as the soothing voice of Jimmy Hibbert brings you 27 different letters from Stanley, in which the young pup tries to understand the strange, but not unpleasant, world of humans and dogs, and the interaction between the two. So sit back, relax and dip into this delightful work, which will hopefully bring some light-hearted relief in these troubled times.
