A story by Louise Fatio read by David Lloyd James
There was once a very happy lion. His home was not the hot and dangerous plains of Africa where hunters lie in wait with their guns, it was a lovely French town with brown tile roofs and gay shutters.

A short story by Jack Cope, read by Bruce Stewart

Roppie was the most popular and daring seal in Cape Town harbour. But one day his daring (and his voracious appetite for fish) caused him to tarry too long when the entrance to a dry dock was closed; he was faced with the greatest challenge of his life.

by Peter Fleming
' I've never been able to resist trying to bring up wild animals and birds. The idea is not to keep them in captivity, which seems to me pointless and cruel, but to have them about the place as sort of outlying, loosely attached members of the household.' Peter Fleming describes his acquaintance with a kestrel.
