Inside Cover:
"Mother says there are rats in the rockery."

Thus, amter-of-factly, begins one of the strangest, most harrowing, yet oddly sympathetic chronicles in the annals of man's relation to beast. The unnamed narrator of this novel is not overly bright. He's bright enough to know, however, that certain animals are highly educable: mazes, all that sort of thing. But how educable? The young author of these "notebooks" begins to fgind out, partly by chance, partly by pity.

Will be released wherever my son decides to release it.
