RUNNING FEET, SHARP NOSES

What is it about animals? those creatures that keep us company, a figure in a memory or folktale, the shadowy presence in a photograph, or an ancient drawing on a wall. Guides, companions, imaginary beings, hindrances, sources of fear and love This brilliant book investigates with the insights and perceptions of some of the finest writers at work today how animals shape and determine our everyday lives, whether we realise it or not.
