In sixteen wonderful stories, Pulitzer Prize-winning author James
A. Michener burrows deep into the secret lives of animals and the
hidden world of nature. Here he sheds light on nature's most
awesome and beguiling handiwork, from the sublime shaping and
reshaping of earth's lands and seas to a ridiculous armadillo's
assault on a bit of Texas real estate that paid off handsomely.
Handpicked from Michener's most popular books, these
mini-masterpieces are imbued with the music of the spheres and the
heartbeat of creation.
Praise for "Creatures of the Kingdom"
" "
" "Creatures of the Kingdom "contains] the dramatic elements of a
life--the wonder of birth, rites of passage, lots of conflict, much
of it physical and bloody, and death. . . . As characters in a
James Michener novel, a beaver can know loneliness, a buffalo can
bide his time, a salmon can feel encouraged, and a woolly mammoth
can 'luxuriate' in the ecological rewards of a plains
fire."--"Boston Sunday Herald"
" "
"Dramatic . . . enthralling . . . expertly crafted . . . Michener
treats each of these creatures with fundamental respect, and in
many cases, admiration and awe, if not outright love."--"The
Virginian-Pilot"
" "
"Anyone who has read a James Michener novel knows that it's a
learning experience as well as an adventure."--"The Sacramento Bee"
"Delightful . . . nature writing at its most fluid and
involving."--"Booklist"
"From the Paperback edition."
