A charmingly presented memoir with tiny line-drawings of favourite animals, both domestic and wild. There are also some colour photos of the author on his various adventures as a conservationist in Africa and as a vet in the English countryside dealing with pets, livestock and zoo animals.
The book is arranged with a chapter for each of 20 selected species. The content is always a personal encounter which the writer has found particularly memorable; amusing or unexpected or exciting. Sometimes this editorial plan sabotages the writer's intention of surprising the reader with a mystery species but in general it works well. I used this book as an enjoyable bedtime read for 20 days so you can see it provides good value for money!
