Fenella Smith crea arte che esplora la relazione tra umani e animali. Il suo lavoro esprime la natura giocosa e talvolta assurda di questa connessione, spesso con un tocco di malinconia. Smith cerca di catturare la risonanza emotiva e la dinamica unica tra le specie.
Over 140 entries delightfully illustrate a wealth of cat breeds - from the attention-loving Siamese to the playful Exotic Shorthair - followed by an extensive cat dictionary, which finally defines those characteristic behaviours and cat-related incidents that all cat lovers will recognise.
Breeds is charmingly illustrated, delightfully humorous guide to over 100 different breeds of dog (and one cat). From aloof Afghan's to tearaway terriers, Breeds will strike a chord with dog lovers everywhere. Corgi - spirited yet loyal dogs. Unusally large ears, all the better for hearing with. The Queen's favourite and they know it. Dachshund - a long, loving and inquisitive dog. Slightly neurotic - will spend large parts of the day worrying. Make excellent draft excluders. Scottie - elegant and compact. Trot along like a dressage horse. Deeply suspicious of other dogs, all of whom are considered lesser beings.
Ayla Nightshade never wanted to rule Darkhaven.
In Darkhaven, peace doesn't last long. Ayla Nightshade has ruled Darkhaven for three years since the tragedy that tore her family apart. She has left her father's cruel legacy behind and become a leader her people can believe in - or so she hopes. Tomas Caraway is no longer disgraced; he's Captain of the Helm and the partner of the most powerful woman in Darkhaven. He will do everything to protect Ayla and their adopted son against all possible threats. But protecting the Nightshade family is no easy task: a weapon has been discovered that is so deadly, it can kill even the powerful creatures they turn into. A weapon that has fallen into the hands of an assassin who will stop at nothing to see Ayla dead.
The third instalment in the Darkhaven series.
Ein hundsverrücktes Handbuch
Es gibt sie in mini, medium und maxi, in weiß-gelb-braun-grau-schwarz, mit großen und kleinen Ohren, langem und kurzem Fell. Den Verwegenen unter ihnen fällt ein langer Pony über die Augen, die Eitlen stecken ihn mit Haarspangen zurück. Sie wohnen in Körbchen, auf Sofas, in Hütten und in Handtaschen. Manche von ihnen retten Leben, andere retten sich hinter ihr Herrchen, wenn’s brenzlig wird. Aber alle haben eins gemeinsam: Sie wollen nur spielen. Welcher Hund ist der schnellste? Welcher eignet sich am besten als Zugluftstopper? Und welcher wird im Hundesportverein immer als Letzter in die Mannschaft gewählt? Ein Buch für alle, die Hunde lieben – und für die, die es noch nicht tun. Sie werden sich verlieben. Garantiert.
