"I have always loved animals. My constant encounters with both domesticated and wild, as a boy in a village, impressed me for life." <br>Nikos Savvakis <br>In this modern-day equivalent of a medieval bestiary, Nikos Savvakis casts an admiring, occasionally quizzical eye over the creatures with whom we share this world. <br>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. <br>Showcasing their author''s gift for arresting but appropriate imagery, these slyly witty poems are sure to delight animal-lovers everywhere.
