This thread has reminded me of a book I had as a kid. It was a collection of short stories all based on the animal world. It was so wonderful, I wish I still had it. My favourite was the Kipling story, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi. In fact it may have been that story that sparked my interest in wildlife.

I also love the James Herriot books. Though as an exiled Yorkshire man they make me feel homesick.
