Bag om The Frog King

In this illuminating discussion of the role of animals in Western thought, the author shows, through his analysis of folklore, popular ideas, and natural history, that man's traditional fascination with animals is more than it appears. Professor Sax asserts that 'animals put us in touch with modes of perception that are prior to culture. Encounters with animals compel us to question what it means to be human.'
