In this unique narrative, Piers Brendon looks deeply into Churchill’s admiration of the animal kingdom―and how animals played such a large part in his everyday life.
Winston Churchill was known for his great love for and admiration of animals. In fact, one of Churchill’s key char- acteristics was his fascination with the animal kingdom―creatures of all sorts were a crucial element throughout his life. He was amused, intrigued, enchanted by, and sometimes even besotted with, a vast menagerie, from his pet bud- gerigar, dogs, cats, fish, and butterflies, to his own lion, leopard, and white kangaroos kept at London Zoo, and even more unusual species. Dwelling amid flora and fauna was Churchill’s ideal form of existence―“The world would be better off if it were inhabited only by animals”―and he signed his boyhood letters home “The Pussy Cat.”"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
