Stories About Animals: Classic tales from innocuous flies on the wall to murderous wolves

by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Saki, Stephen Crane, Rudyard Kipling, Ivan Turgenev Narrated by William Dufris, Christopher Ragland, Mark Rice-Oxley

Overview

Many say that some of their greatest friends, and their greatest joys and feelings, are about animals. Rather than find those same joys and feelings from amongst friends, family and the rest of humanity it can be far easier, some say wiser, to find that from other sources. Some animals may be entirely innocent and entirely devoted to us. But we forget that in the world of wild animals survival is the primary instinct and usually the great enemy is the human race.

In this volume our classic authors, including H Rider Haggard, Saki, Bret Harte, Jack London and many others bring us many tints and shades of our relationships with the animal world, both wild and domestic. Just be careful.
