* The brilliantly quirky David Sedaris returns with a book of acerbic and outrageously funny stories about animals who have unmistakably human failings, with a hilarious new story for the paperback edition
David Sedaris lives in Paris. Raised in North Carolina, he has worked as a housecleaner and most famously, as a part-time elf for Macy's. Several of his plays have been produced and he is a regular contributor to Esquire and Public Radio International's 'This American Life'.
Doesn't disappoint... Imagine Aesop meeting Nick Park's Creature Comforts, directed by Quentin Tarantino... I can't remember the last time I grinned so much while reading... The sort of book that you will want to dip in to in years to come. - Hardeep Singh KohliThis inventive, witty - wise, even - collection will enliven any short bus journey. - Toby Clements

David Sedaris is not for everyone, but his many fans will enjoy this hilarious, albeit vulgar, collection of morality stories enacted by animals (think Aesop for grown-ups!) Elaine Stritch, Dylan Baker, and Sian Phillips join Sedaris in reading this quirky, sardonic collection. Don't miss the PDFs of the book's illustrations by Ian Falconer.
