Description
Join us for a book reading in support of the PEI Humane Society. Andrew Peacock is the author of Creatures of the Rock, a book of animal stories told from the perspective of a Newfoundland veterinarian. The book was in the top ten non-fiction sellers in independent book stores in Canada and has been nominated for the Leacock Medal for humour.
Andrew Peacock is a born vet, devoted to the care of animals, and in constant wonder as an observer of their lives. Luckily for the rest of us, he is a born storyteller, too. Creatures of the Rock is a funny, thrilling, unflinching but ultimately heartwarming collection of tales about the connections between people and animals, and people with each other.
"Creatures of the Rock is a truly great read about an astounding life-long adventure. Funny, heartfelt and so insightful I think I have a good shot at birthing a cow if called upon in an emergency.”
—Rick Mercer
