      About This Book

      This is the darkly comic story of Wise Old Owl and his attempts to animalize Animal World. They have an all too familiar ring to our own human history. Joining forces with Muerte Buzzard, Sly Fox and Michael Ferret, a Zoo is built to "zoo-in" all those animals deemed responsible for the world's plight. First zoo'd are those animals who look different. Followed by artists and thinkers. Especially dangerous are animals possessing an inner life. It's not long before the entire population is at risk.
      Then, some of the more courageous animals rebel. They call upon the two-faced Ferret to organize a Revolutionary Army with the guru Polly Parrot at the lead. But here the novel takes an unexpected turn.
