This rich and thought-provoking book presents an anthology of letters about animals published in the Spectator over the past century. Drawn from the observations of pet owners, naturalists, scientists, and animal lovers, the letters offer a kaleidoscopic view of the fascinating world of animals, from their remarkable cognitive abilities to their capacity for altruism, loyalty, and even humor. The author meticulously annotates each letter with scientific insights and historical references, creating a tapestry of knowledge. The book invites readers to ponder the nature of the bond between humans and animals, and the moral implications of our treatment of them. It's a must-read for animal enthusiasts and anyone curious about the complex and often surprising world of our fellow creatures.
