Publisher's Synopsis

An Owl adored a sorceress

But loved a white witch too

Which to wed and which to bed?

To wit: which witch to woo?

From the ostra-cised Ostrich to the dandy Cayote they called Don Quixote, from the fetishistic Zebra to the missing Lynx, here is a delighful menagerie of irreverent, laugh-aloud animal verse from the ever-inventive pen of the wonderful Maureen Lipman. Brilliantly illustrated by Gerald Scarfe, Posy Simmonds,Mac, Jan Pienkowski and other leading cartoonists.
