Description
From award-winning author and photographer Nick Jans, A Wolf Called Romeo is beautifully writtena thoughtful and moving story about one of natures most evocative animals. (Patricia B. McConnell, author of The Education of Will and The Other End of the Leash)
A Wolf Called Romeo is the true story of the exceptional black wolf who spent seven years interacting with the people and dogs of Juneau, Alaska, living on the edges of their community, engaging in an improbable, awe-inspiring interspecies dance, and bringing the wild into sharp focus.
When Romeo first appeared, author Nick Jans and the other citizens of Juneau were wary, but as Romeo began to tag along with cross-country skiers on their daily jaunts, play fetch alongside local dogs, or simply lie near Nick and nap under the sun on a quiet afternoon, Nick and the rest of Juneau came to accept Romeo, and he them. Part memoir, part moving animal narrative, part foray into the mystique, lore, science, and history of the wolf, A Wolf Called Romeo is a book no animal lover should miss.
Jans is an exceptional storyteller no nature writer can top him in terms of sheer emotional New York Times
Jans is a perfect narrator for this story. Hes deeply knowledgeable about the Alaskan wilderness and he evokes its harsh beauties in powerful and poetic proseA tingling reminder of the basic bond that occasionally spans the space between two Science Monitor
