Since the age of six, when she wrote and illustrated a book called "Herbert the Near-Sighted Pigeon," Susan Orlean has been drawn to stories about how we live with animals, and how they take to us. Now, in "On Animals," she examines animal-human relationships through the compelling tales she has written over the course of her celebrated career in a collection of essays on subjects great and small, from orcas to pigeons to lions and tigers and panda bears.
