The Unexpected Truth About Animals

Lucy Cooke


  • Random House
  • Royal Octavo
  • by Cooke, Lucy
History is full of strange animal stories, invented by the brightest and most influential, from Aristotle to Disney, and they reveal as much about us and the things we believe as they do about the animals they misrepresent. We once thought that eels were born from sand, that swallows hibernated under water, and that bears gave birth to formless lumps that were licked into shape by their mothers.
