Tim Jessell.
Renowned author and outdoorsman Paulsen recounts personal anecdotes of remarkable encounters that challenge our perception of animals as simplistic creatures. Through a conversational, free-flowing narrative, Paulsen's strong prose and the compelling subjects of his chosen stories reinforce the central theme that animals should be recognized as compassionate, intelligent, and heroic partners in life's journey. Pen-and-ink sketches illustrate the stories.
