It's inevitable--when you spend some times in the outdoors, you're likely to encounter an animal of some sort, be it a squirrel, a moose, or even something a bit more frightening. There's a story in each of these encoutners, and Animal Encounters Trail Tales captures twelve of them in this anthology. Some are funny, others a bit more scary, but all are sure to entertain. Contributors include Tim Cahill, Hugh Lofting (Story of Dr. Dolittle), Herman Melville, and more.
