Drawing on years in the Central African forest, the explorer who brought the gorilla to Western attention lets its creatures speak for themselves. Giant eagles, grey parrots, monkeys, snakes, elephants and ants talk, travel to the Land of Plenty and hunt one another, each chapter built on what he observed of their habits.

A curious, lively mix of natural history and animal fable, with illustrations by Charles R. Knight. Download the free EPUB.
