Animal Crackers

In a debut anthology of eleven offbeat and unnerving stories, different animals become the test of the deepest human fears, in such works as 'Miss Waldron's Red Colobus,' 'Talk Turkey,' 'Slim's Last Ride,' 'Gallus Gallus,' and the title story, in which an elephant keeper courts danger from his gentle charge. Reprint. 17,500 first printing.
