(From the back cover) Ken MacGregor has a fascination for animals that borders on obsession. Here, for the first time, are all of his animal stories. Some, you'll recognize, of course. Some, however, only exist in these pages. The stories run the gamut from optimistic to horrific, from kid-friendly to pretty gruesome. In addition to the obvious lions & tigers & weres (that's were-creatures: mostly wolves—mostly one wolf), there are reptiles, rodents, and raptors, along with a menagerie of others. So, smooth out your fun, preen your feathers, shed your old skin, and enjoy!
