Enslaved by Ducks

ENSLAVED BY DUCKS: Bob Tarte: Algonquin Books: Nonfiction: 308 pages

When Bob Tarte’s wife suggested they adopt a bunny, it seemed like a safe enough proposition, but the bunny was the beginning of a long line of strong-willed pets about to overrun the house. Bad-tempered birds, territorial ducks, and other quirky animals fill Tarte’s stories, and he shares his farm experiences with humor and warmth. A wonderful read that will especially delight fans of James Herriot and John Grogan.
