The Dog and the Sailor

Format: Hardback

Condition: Very Good — £13.30
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Set sail on an epic quest across the high seas with The Dog and the Sailor!


In a world of dragons, witches and magic, reckless Ruan yearns to become a sailor and escape his humdrum life as a tailor's apprentice. However, he soon learns that sometimes we should be careful what we wish for when a journey across the ocean takes a terrible turn for the worse. Fortunately, a chance encounter with a mysterious dog steers Ruan away from danger, leading him on the adventure of his wildest dreams...


Written and illustrated by Pete Jordi Wood, an ancient LGBTQ+ fairy tale resurfaces once more to delight and entertain a new generation of readers.
