Jonathan Cranston is a vet now based in the Cotswolds, who has travelled the world practicing his profession.
This is a well written book, consisting of chapters telling separate stories, some moving, some sad and some very funny, about different species of animals. There is an interesting fact page at the end of each chapter telling about the animal (I especially liked the group names - for example a group of wildebeest is called a confusion!) and it’s need for conservation. His love of animals and wildlife shine through the whole book giving it a lovely feel good factor for the reader. If I hadn’t been given this book to review, I doubt that I would have read it so I am pleased to say that I enjoyed it more than I expected and can genuinely recommend it to anyone.
