Set in early 20th-century England, The Danes of Send Manor traces entrepreneur Gordon Stewart's drive to create an unparalleled kennel. From aviation and motorcar beginnings to a Swiss-style park that housed scores of Great Danes, the book merges personal biography with canine and social history.

It also details Stewart's links to prominent contemporaries—William Morris, Malcolm Campbell, Gracie Fields and Augustus John—his ownership of the Strand Theatre, and a notable friendship with the King of England, revealing the era's artistic and social networks.

Handlers and historians will appreciate chapters on obedience techniques, performance descriptions and the many period photos that illustrate kennel life and public exhibitions.
