A very whimsical book regarding the curiosities of the sort that can only be found in Jolly Old England! Looking a lot like characters out of a Beatrix Potter story, these curiosities are no longer together but in the hands of private collectors. You can still seem the best one here in the book. Happily NONE of the taxidermy were killed for use in these displays. However, I imagine the excess bunnies, kittens, etc. were probably disposed of by the Victorian farmers who considered these animals a threat to their crops and livelihood. If you are a fan of Victoriana -- this book will amaze you.
You MUST own this book if you like the quirky and slightly weird. My 7 yr old went Nuts when she got her hands on this book. Like nothing else out there!
