Book review by Simon Parsons

Not every item in these eclectic collections is an object of beauty; some are prized more for the associations or simply fill a space. As Nick writes of the Whittaker collection: “For Lynne every piece has its own individual charm, so a 19th century Austrian bronze will happily rub shoulders with a cheap hand-made pottery model bought for 75p from a charity shop.”

The final chapter, ‘Pugs and Ends’, deals with a variety of other forms of Pug art, bronzes, jewellery, glass and so on.

With interest in Pugs seldom so intense as present, this treasure trove will find a ready market among devotees worldwide.
