Gromit takes the page

Framed as Gromit’s memoir, the book gives the famously silent dog a voice and turns the familiar Wallace & Gromit world toward the thoughts he says have stayed behind the scenes. The premise is knowingly playful: Wallace’s planned contribution is delayed by an unfinished writing machine, while Gromit takes over to tell his own story. The description’s jokes about household inventions and buried bones establish a comic, self-aware approach to autobiography, with the contrast between Gromit’s reputation for intelligence and his new role as narrator at its center.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Wallace & Gromit fans curious about Gromit’s perspective
  • Readers interested in comic, fictional memoirs
  • Adults looking for humorous fiction

Book overview

The world's most intelligent and well-read dog, the famously mute Gromit, finally breaks his silence, presenting his memoir to Nick Park, the four-time Academy Award (c) winner and creator of Wallace & Gromit.

Yes. I'm a dog. And you're reading a book written by a dog.

Which of us is the odder? I guess we'll just have to get used to it.

Now, this is supposed to be Wallace's story. And maybe, at some point, he'll finish building the machine he was going to write this book with. Currently he's stood on top of the dining table and wondering why he fitted a typewriter with wheels and a flame-thrower (we made an agreement for new inventions - there's even a list on the fridge, and 'No Flame-Throwers' is at Number 3).

Until then, this is my story. The tale of what goes on behind my eyes. And I really do know where all the bones are buried. So. I guess it's time I spoke.
