The dustwrapper is badly chipped and torn and worn, the top edge of the book is browned, the other edges less so, the front end pages have split showing the cloth beneath.

The zoologist have long known that a lioness teaches her cubs to be quick and accurate in pouncing by twitching her own tail and letting the cubs leap at it. A cat cannot leave a tail alone.
