The Dog That Inherited a Palace

©GeraldineBanksJanuary2025

This is a story based on my little Parsons Jack Russell Dog called Tedi and his love of Blenheim Palace, Dogs are not allowed in the Palace or in some of the gardens and it is always a struggle to keep him from trying to get insided. So I imagined him actually breaking in and where it might lead and it turned into an exciting adventure for me and I hope for you too.

This story imagines he actually inherits a fictional palace ; based on Blenheim; and all the adventures connected with his new found status of Lord of the Manor , being in effect the arbiter of the Old Duke and Duchess’s wishes with the help of his ever faithful butler Cross.

Yes, the story is for children, but I think adults and all dog lovers would enjoy it too.

I’ve currently only written 5 chapters and am in the process of editing and writing more, so the first post is Chapter 1 and 2 and then I plan to post one chapter a week. It is a story I want to complete and the real inspiration is my dog Tedi, who I actually do think is a bit of a “Lord of the Manor”, he certainly rules the roost in our house.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.

  1. What a delightful story concept! Tedi sounds like the perfect ‘Lord of the Manor’. I can already imagine his adventures bringing joy to both kids and dog lovers. Best of luck with the chapters—excited to see where his paws lead next!
