Originally published in Australia, The Grass Library is a philosophical and poetic journey by one of Australia’s most skilled, unusual and versatile writers (Sydney Morning Herald). Both a memoir and an elegy for animal rights, The Grass Library portrays the author’s relationship with his dog, four sheep, and myriad other animals in the home he shares with his partner in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales.

This collection of essays–with its lyrical language, its honesty and vulnerability, its charm and wit–will delight and inspire all animal lovers, and especially those who rescue animals.
