Solomon, the legend goes, had a magic ring which enabled him to speak to animals in their own language. Konrad Lorenz was gifted with a similar power of understanding the animal world. He was a brilliant scientist who could write and draw beautifully. He did more than any other person to establish and popularize the study of how animals behave, receiving a Nobel Prize for his work. King Solomon's Ring, the book which brought him worldwide recognition, is a treasury of observations and insights into the lives of all sorts of creatures, from jackdaws and water-shrews to dogs, cats and even wolves. Illustrated by Lorenz himself, this book is a wonderfully written introduction to a world which often provides an uncanny resemblance to our own and a must for any animal-lover.
