For the Quite Very Actual Love of Worzel cover

Worzel is still an enormous Lurcher with ‘issues,’ but his issues are now predictable. Now in his fourth year with his forever family, life is changing. As the children grow up and begin to spread their wings, Worzel's world should be more peaceful. But as life rolls on, a changing of the guard brings new challenges; challenges no-one seems ready to embrace, least of all the cats. An over-enthusiastic encounter with a fish pond, a blackbird with a death wish, and a new arrival all conspire to ensure that whilst Worzel might be ready for an easy life, his family has other plans. Mum, long-suffering Dad, five cats and two grown-up children all feature in Worzel’s fourth diary, bringing together poems, letters and advice that Worzel’s beginning to wonder if it's even worth offering any more. The eagerly-awaited fourth instalment from Worzel, the literary Lurcher is funny, touching, honest, and very real.

Well I am a huge fan of this series. A long awaited fourth instalment from Lurcher Worzel and a continuation of his life story. The books are written from Worzel's viewpoint and in his language and this as with all the others is hilarious, honest, and real. I particularly like the beautiful photo sections in the middle of this book of Worzel himself. It makes me feel like I really know him! This edition of Worzel's life follows the same format month by month and carries a variety of adventures. These include an exciting encounter with a fish pond, a black bird, which Worzel concludes has a death wish, plus a new arrival just when Worzel has hoping for a quiet life! The usual Mum and very long-suffering Dad, two offspring and five cats all feature and included are poems, letters and advice from Worzel in his own infallible way. Words of wisdom that only a Lurcher could write! Truly worth a read, along with the other three previous books in the series. - Dog Training Weekly.
