Collection
The #BroaderBookshelf challenge helps expand your reading habits to discover authors, genres and books you might not otherwise pick up. Check out one of these memoirs by somebody who isn't a celebrity - but who does have something to do with animals! Hawks, sheep, pigs, dogs (so many dogs) - even the occasional royal raven.
