Animal Behaviour

A mother watches her son grow from a sweet child into a troubled adult...

A jilted lover finds hope one magical evening...

A cobbler breathes life back into a pair of lucky shoes...

Animal Behaviour titles each of its short stories with animal facts, but the experiences they describe are very much human. The cast of characters is diverse but the world they inhabit is universal: one in which all of us will recognise fragments of our own lives in some form, an echo of our shared humanity.

This second edition contains six new stories, unpublished anywhere else.
