«Scruffy» is the humorous novel by Paul Gallico published by Penguin in paperback (288 pages, in English).
During the Second World War, a superstition holds that the British will lose Gibraltar if the Barbary apes disappear from the Rock. Captain Tim Bailey and his assistant Lovejoy look after these animals; their biggest problem is Scruffy, a large, mischievous monkey who causes comic situations.
Work published in 1977; this Penguin edition is a later reprint of the English text.
For lovers of animals and classic humorous fiction, with a historical backdrop in Gibraltar.
Paul William Gallico was an American novelist and short story and sports writer. Many of his works were adapted for motion pictures. He is perhaps best remembered for The Snow Goose, his most critically successful book, for the novel The Poseidon Adventure, primarily through the 1972 film adaptation, and for four novels about the beloved character of Mrs. Harris.
