About This Book

A collection of short narratives portrays animals as singular heroes, each account following an individual creature through trials and achievements. Stories range from a resourceful stray cat and its kittens to a carrier pigeon, wolves, a lynx, a spirited little war horse, a resolute bull terrier, and a white reindeer; some pieces are drawn from firsthand field experience while others are lightly fictionalized. Emphasizing survival, instinct, and distinctive behavior, the vignettes combine observational detail and dramatic shaping to explore courage, loyalty, and the bonds between humans and animals.
