Leonard Malcolm Saville [1901-1962] was the author of a number of series for the children and young adult reading public. Perhaps the series for which he is most widely known is the Lone Pine series. Among the most endearing and enduring of the series' characters is the children's dog Macbeth, whose tragic name often is shortened to Mackie. The dog is so named, because he is a Scottie. And in another way the name is appropriate. For Mackie is as courageous and ferocious in a fight with minor rogues, as was the historic Macbeth. And as was the case of Macbeth, Mackie quickly is cowed by the more ruthless of scoundrels and villains. And yet unlike Macbeth, Mackie is 'not so happy, yet much happier'. For he never sinks below a certain level of canine conduct, and therefore is allowed to age, slowly but surely and gracefully.
