Tim Rowland's Creature Features

When Tim Rowland's earlier book of his animal essays, All Pets are Off, was published, readers immediately clamored for more.

Their preference for animal stories over the political columns Tim's also known for is understandable: animals are way more fun to read about than politicians.

Especially now. So here's a new volume of over 75 columns, from the introduction to the farm of bovines Cleopatra and Heifertiti, the Belted Galloway beauties, to the further antics of Hannah the English Bulldog and Juliet the tiny Siamese---and of course, more of the joyful bouvier des Flandres named Opie---that's sure to provide loads of smiles and even outright guffaws.
