Sedaris, all furred and feral.

A collection of animal fables where the creatures talk, scheme, flirt, resent, posture and behave with recognisably human pettiness. On paper it reads like Aesop fables, but in practice it’s darker, sharper, occasionally cruel in that dry Sedaris way. We love.

The trick is tone. These woodland tales are moral fables with desire, vanity, hypocrisy all dressed in feathers and whiskers.

It’s slight in length, but not in bite. Gorgeously illustrated first edition, in near new condition.
