I had just recently purchased a VHS tape of the movie and watched it, only to be reminded that it was based on a novel (during the credits). So finally I went online and decided to buy it.The book is very different from the movie, much more involved with the dogs' world than the humans', which I liked. It seems Disney left many characters out of the movie, and changed most of the ones they kept. For example, Perdita is a lost, liver-spotted dalmatian that "Mrs. Dearly" finds alongside the road, who helps foster the 15 puppies birthed by "Missis", who is Pongo's actual wife. Perdita later finds her lost puppies at Hell Hall and is reunited with them, along with her husband who is taken away after they are "married". Other left out characters include an old Spaniel, a Staffordshire Terrier, Cruella's Persian cat, and a show dog.Cruella DeVil's husband, who is a furrier (one who makes animal skin coats) is never mentioned. "Saul and Jasper" in the book are replaced with "Horace and Jasper", and there are two nannies (Nanny Butler and Nanny Cook) instead of one.I found two typos in the book (my copy, at least), one is where "that" is misspelled "tht" and a stray parenthesis mark.This book has a certain charm and a clever way of portraying the way dogs think and act. The emotions are strong and well-portrayed in each character, and you definitely get a feeling to how they are coping with situations in the story. The one I felt was the strongest was Missis having to deal with life outside a warm cozy fire and all the comforts of home as they search for their children.Overall, I like the story very much, and I'll probably re-read it over and over as time goes on. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars DIsney's 101 Dalmations has little resemblance to the original. *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 14, 2018* As with many classic works that Disney "recreated" -- this is a prime example of why I usually don't like the movies.There is so much charm, warmth and character development that Disney missed. Or eliminated. The stories ofPongo and Missis (his wife in the book) met; Perdita's story; the backstory of Cruella and her husband. The charmof the search for the puppies .... so many, many ways a wonderful and touching story was turned into anotherDisney "romp" full of chase scenes and vaudeville touches.It saddens me that books like this and others have been popularized by movies and people think they "know" thebook. They don't.Disney is fine in many ways, but books like this one, The Wind in the Willows, and the Pooh books should be off limitsfor movie makers. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Better than the Movie *by J***H on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 18, 2019* If you have never read the book that created the movie buy it right now and read it. 101 Dalmations is my favorite Disney movie and this book is better (as most books are) You're missing out on so, So, SO MUCH! Theres not even 99 puppies *gasp* if you dont read this book you will never know who Saul is, or about Mr. DeVil, or Cadpig or who Perdita really is. Once you start each turn of the page brings a new story you've never heard. All time favorite book EVER, reminiscing about my childhood. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/60180890-the-101-dalmatians](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/60180890-the-101-dalmatians) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
