King-the Crafty Coyote: for the Young and Young at Heart

King mixes adventure and warm human interest in equal parts; there is much here about wild life and hunting and everlasting conflict between men and animals, as seen through the eyes of both. King presents enthralling scenes that move with a lighting pace and alternate between the life of King and his 'family' and their struggle for survival, and the life of their human hunters. Several themes are interwoven in this book: the hunger for life that burns equally in animal and human instincts, with the victory of sanity and peace over violence and killing. This book will appeal to the young in heart of all ages, its message is universal-love of creatures and confidence in the best instincts of everything that lives.
