“The world is full of a wonderful variety of creatures: the fierce and the timid, the large and the minute, the strong and the weak.  Some are familiar to man while others are but rarely seen.  All are fascinating to learn about.  This book is a simple introduction to many of them in different parts of the world – in the Arctic and the Antarctic; on mountains and in pastureland; in jungles, swamps and deserts; in the sea and in the air.”
