Media Reviews
...is the sort of book you might find in David Attenborough's downstairs lavatory. It specialises in facts you never knew you wished to know about animals. Sunday TIMES Just about everything Walker knows about the entire animal creation is gross, disgusting or grotesque - and often pretty funny. The Spectator
