AbstractHistoryArchive Description
This little book is the work of two people who have shared the privilege of leading lives deeply involved with animals of various kinds. Both have long been fascinated by our native mammals and concerned, in their separate ways, to evoke similar feelings in others.
'The Incomplete Book of Australian Mammals' is a collection of the their favourite mammals, whether by reason of scientific interest, artistic appeal or simply for the fun of playing with the name. In both verse and picture they offer you an incomplete account, but one which aims to share whatever it is of the animals' essence that excites their interest, in the hope that it will not only amuse you, but arose your curiosity.
