Title Details

Picking up where Rex Harper’s first book, An Otter on the Aga, left off, An Eagle in the Cupboard follows the fortunes of the Cornish RSPCA center through one of its most testing 12 months. Once more it is a mixture of funny, touching, and sometimes moving animal stories. And once more it features a cast of unforgettable characters, like Alfie and Blue, two hideously mistreated greyhounds that are rehabilitated at the farm, as well as the return of old favorites from Rex's first book, including his loyal dog Moss. Throughout, Rex evokes the sights, smells, sounds, and spirit of the Cornish countryside in all its timeless beauty. He also encounters sickening cases of animal cruelty committed by humans unfit to care for any living thing. Funny, warm, and evocative, it is a book that is, once more, set to melt and occasionally break the hearts of animal lovers everywhere.
