A memoir and narrative of minding owls in distress by Lawrence McKeever, who with his wife Kay, founded the The Owl Foundation, a Canadian charitable organization dedicated to rehabilitation of injured or ophaned wild Canadian owls This is the story of how the McKeevers began their owl rehabilitation centre. In the spring of 1986 bird-watchers, inear Long-Point, on Lake Erie, found a Great Horned Owl that had been killed by a car; pitiful "beeping" in nearby woods led them to an owlet about four weeks old - barely fledged, feeble, and desperately emaciated. This baby owl was brought Kay and Lawrence McKeever who first nutured it their house before placing it in the care their "Niska" owls, a pair of Great Horned who were proven wonderful foster parents. When the owlet was about 6 months old the McKeevers moved it to a release training cage so it could practise catching mice "on the hoof" before releasing it to the woods, where it belonged. What followed was the McKeevers would receive anywhere from six to fifteen baby Great Horned Owls every spring, and weere able to return almost all to the wild. A magical tale of humans living well beside other living beings. Author Signed.

First published in 1938 by the Obelisk Press. The novel shows several surrealist influences, and these may be in part related to materials from the 1936 London International Surrealist Exhibition, about which Henry Miller was sending Durrell materials from Herbert Read. In reviewing it in The Observer, Philip Toynbee wrote, 'This is a wild, passionate, brilliantly gaudy and flamboyant extravaganza; it is intrinsically and essentially, the book of a young man - Durrell was 24 when he wrote it - richly obscene, energetically morbid, very often very funny indeed, self-pitying, but, above all, stylistically and verbally inventive as no other young man's novel of the period was even attempting to be.'
