If you love animals, you'll love this sparkling collection of Victorian poetry about the antics of the animal kingdom! Victorians loved their pets, and this collection captures that love in a unique assembly of poetry that has never been anthologized before. Filled with wit, humor, and quite a few awful puns, this volume introduces you to a host of critters - including the poetic tales of quite a few real-life Victorian pets. Enjoy odes to dogs, cats, horses, and even a few barnyard beasts and birds (including an over-ambitious pullet).
