Classic Collie story about a boy and his dog, or perhaps, a dog and her boy. She travels nearly a thousand miles to be with him again. It is nicely written and describes the life of the working class in that time period very well. It has some interesting subplots along the way. However, the way of looking at dog intelligence has changed since the book was written. I think Lassie would be much smarter in real life than the author described her. I may have read this book before, as I seem to remember the ending and one of the little subplots.
8/10 below my reading level , outdated science, but full of good morals and strong affections.
