Joy and heartbreak combine in this bittersweet tale of a champion greyhound's journey through life and from owner to owner. 'The sack wasn't just drifting gently along like everything else, it was turning of its own accord. There was definitely something inside it, struggling against the side of the plastic bag, kicking at it, squeaking and squealing in terror. He had no idea what it might be, only that it was alive and in danger of drowning'. When Patrick saves a litter of greyhound puppies from the canal, he can't bear to hand them all over to the RSPCA. He pleads with his parents, couldn't he just keep one of them? But nothing will convince them and Patrick cries himself to sleep, only to be woken by a greyhound puppy licking his face! Patrick christens his puppy Best Mate, and that's what he becomes. Patrick's favourite thing is to watch Best Mate running at full stretch on the heath, a speeding bullet, a cheetah dog. Until one day Best Mate is kidnapped by a greyhound trainer, and begins a new life as a champion race dog. Suzie, the greyhound trainer's stepdaughter, loves Best Mate on first sight and gives him a new name, Bright Eyes. But what will happen when he can't run any more? Scarce signed.

His art studies were interrupted by the Second World War, during which he served in the Army Medical Corps. After the war he worked as a hospital laboratory technician until he gave this up to devote himself to writing. His books, mostly written for children, have been widely translated and have won many international and British literary awards. In 1981 he was nominated for the prestigious Hans Christian Andersen Award. He was married with one daughter and lived in North London, the setting for many of his novels, until his death in 1996.
