Named one of the 10 Best Books of 2019 by the New York Times Book Review - A Publishers Weekly Best Book of 2019 - A Kirkus Best Book of 2019

"Damrosch brings the Club's redoubtable personalities--the brilliant minds, the jousting wits, the tender camaraderie--to vivid life."--New York Times Book Review

"Magnificently entertaining."--Washington Post

In 1763, the painter Joshua Reynolds proposed to his friend Samuel Johnson that they invite a few friends to join them every Friday at the Turk's Head Tavern in London to dine, drink, and talk until midnight. Eventually the group came to include among its members Edmund Burke, Adam Smith, Edward Gibbon, and James Boswell. It was known simply as "the Club."

In this captivating book, Leo Damrosch brings alive a brilliant, competitive, and eccentric cast of characters. With the friendship of the "odd couple" Samuel Johnson and James Boswell at the heart of his narrative, Damrosch conjures up the precarious, exciting, and often brutal world of late eighteenth-century Britain. This is the story of an extraordinary group of people whose ideas helped to shape their age, and our own.

None of the stuffing pulled out
I have 3 dogs. 1 is very gentle w/ stuffed toys. 1 is new to us and very anxious and kept stealing things like water bottles to gnaw on. And 1 destroys every stuffed toy we have ever brought into the house. We bought these for the anxious one. She was recently adopted and very people shy and afraid of the world around her. She doesn't know how to play with people and she's terrified if you try to throw a ball or if you squeak a squeaker, but we also needed something durable enough for her chewing that would be safe for her and could also withstand the toy destroyer possibly getting hold of it. They've been playing with these for a few months now and the most damage is that some of the rope necks are a bit frayed and a lot of the fuzz on the outside is gone, but none of them have been torn open. And the squeakers are in there in a way that it's hard to make them squeak if not doing so intentionally. The 1 dog can have plush toys again, the 1 dog can gnaw and chew to reduce her anxiety and the 3rd can chew and attack it without me having to clean up stuffing all the time

Very durable
Color: 3 Pack Donkey Giraffe Dog
For some reason I thought they would be a little bigger but I have to say they are very durable. My Saint Bernard has not shredded them to pieces yet. Normally the toys last a day or two but he still has them after 3 weeks. 👍

Not durable
Color: 3 Pack Donkey Giraffe Dog
Toys look nice, but they did not last 2 days with our 6 months Mini Aussie. It's nice as a display item, not as a toy.
