Now in its eighteenth glorious year, this latest edition of the best-selling series serves up a year in review, distilled through the wry, wise, and occasionally eyebrow-raising observations of the Telegraph’s unpublished letter writers.

This volume offers yet more sparkling gems—proof that common sense and uncommon wit are alive and well.

The law describes author Kate Moore as a dog thief. She's stolen more than three hundred and fifty dogs throughout a period of five years. It's possible she's stolen more dogs than anyone else in Canada and possibly North America. But she doesn't think of herself as a thief, and she doesn't feel like one. Moore sees herself as a dog rescuer, one who rescues abused and neglected dogs who suffer at the hands of their owners. In Gone to the Dogs, Moore describes her rescue/theft of dozens of abused and neglected, chained, penned, and cruelly confined dogs that the SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) refused to help despite their suffering. Each chapter about the rescue of a suffering dog alternates with chapters about Moore's journey through the court system, starting with her arrest and ending with her sentencing two years later. This memoir reveals that rescue isn't something you dabble in; it consumes your life. It's stressful and emotionally and financially draining. But the rewards of watching formerly terrified and traumatized dogs shed their fears and blossom into joyful, confident, and loving beings makes every moment worth it.

From the internationally bestselling author of The Radium Girls comes a dark but ultimately uplifting tale of a woman whose incredible journey still resonates today. Elizabeth Packard was an ordinary Victorian housewife and mother of six. That was, until the first Woman’s Rights Convention was held in 1848, inspiring Elizabeth and many other women to dream of greater freedoms. She began voicing her opinions on politics and religion — opinions that her husband did not share. Incensed and deeply threatened by her growing independence, he had her declared ‘slightly insane’ and committed to an asylum. Inside the Illinois State Hospital, Elizabeth found many other perfectly lucid women who, like her, had been betrayed by their husbands and incarcerated for daring to have a voice. But just because you are sane, doesn’t mean that you can escape a madhouse … Fighting the stigma of her gender and her supposed madness, Elizabeth embarked on a ceaseless quest for justice. It not only challenged the medical science of the day and saved untold others from suffering her fate, it ultimately led to a giant leap forward in human rights the world over.
