Eric Baratay's biographical account of the backstory lives of famous animals is a vivid description of experiences and feelings from the animal's point of view. The uniqueness and singularity of individual animals emerge in these 'restored stories, ' encouraging a better understanding of the conditions and circumstances of actual animals. Clear, readable, and very engaging, this book is a splendid contribution to animal studies.--Linda Kalof author of Looking at Animals in Human History An attractive and original work. There isn't anything much like it, and it should be of interest to scholars interested in animals in a range of humanistic disciplines, as well to general readers who share their interests. --Harriet Ritvo author of Noble Cows and Hybrid Zebras: Essays on Animals and History
