"I have always loved animals. My constant encounters with both domesticated and wild, as a boy in a village, impressed me for life."

Among others, frogs, pigeons, hedgehogs and the 'princely' octopus are presented in an unexpected light. Man's best friend provides moments of both comedy and sorrow, while the title poem 'Takh - The Spirit' is in praise of that most magnificent of human allies, the horse. Showcasing their author's gift for arresting but appropriate imagery, these slyly witty poems are sure to delight animal-lovers everywhere.
