Guardian superstar columnist, John Crace, pens a satirical memoir of his dog, Herbie . . .

Cedric Sapin-Defour's memoir of his dog, Ubac, has become the surprise best seller in France this year. Prepare to Meet Thy Dog will take this genre to a new level.

This will be Herbie's autobiography. He is an old dog and with age comes wisdom. Being around many of the leading politicians of today through his humans (he tries to take John out at least a few times a week), it's safe to say he has strong opinions on all of them - and a good nose for insincerity.

This will be tender, clever and funny. Think Paddington for adults. Paddington with edge.
