Whispering Gallery 160



This issue was sent out to Dorothy Dunnett Society members in November 2023.
Dunnett’s depiction of animals in her books is the subject of the opening article in this December issue of Whispering Gallery. A reader discusses the way the treatment of animals reveals the true nature of characters in the text; how the portrayals of the fate of animals may also provide a premonition of the fate of the human characters; and the opportunities animals offer Dunnett to display her wonderful sense of humour.
