Tales of Love and Courage from Milkweed Manor Kaaren Poole

This collection of heart-warming stories stars the charming and engaging animals of the forest community behind Milkweed Manor, an old English manor house. The animals live in the shadow of man-for better or for worse-but their sense of community, cooperation, mutual support, and positivity both carries them through the bad times and enhances the good ones. Each story begins with a life lesson that plays out in the narrative. Follow the adventures of badgers, squirrels, hares, rabbits, mice, rats, foxes, weasels, owls, crows, and a raccoon-a veritable who's who of the forest-as well as a disillusioned domestic cat. Each story stands on its own but, together, they form a cohesive whole. The book contains 34 black and white illustrations by the author. A full color hard back version as well as a full color paperback and e-book (without illustrations) versions are also available. This book will bring a smile to your face and joy to your heart. It would make a thoughtful and appreciated gift for any animal enthusiast.
