An illustrated collection of rhymes, songs, and poems about animals from Belloc, Rossetti, Wordsworth, and other British and American writers of the nineteenth and early twentieth century.
Poems derived from old collective nouns for animals, such as "a murder of crows" and "a leap of leopards." Includes an explanatory note about these terms.
Martin the warrior mouse and Gonff the mousethief set out to find the missing ruler of Mossflower, while the other animal inhabitants of the woodland prepare to rebel against the evil wildcat who has seized power.
