Author Brian Doyle describes encounters with astounding beings of every sort and shape. These true takes of animals and human mammals (generally the smaller sizes, but here and there elders and jumbos) cheerfully do their best to insist that all beings are cousins, each as vibrant and testy as the others.

Doyle’s trademark quirky prose is at once lyrical, daring, and refreshing; his essays poignant but not pap, sharp but not sermons, and revelatory at every turn. Throughout there is humor and humility and a palpable sense of wonder, with passages of reflection so true and hard earned they make you stop and reread a line, a paragraph, a page. A fun and humorous read for summer.
