About this ebook

The book is a fantasy about animals, containing a lot of trivia, facts, fantasy, and a myriad of pun aspects of the animals. What might happen if, after the destruction of the human race, animals took over? This is a tale about the malicious murder of a few animals and the resulting chase, arrest, and prosecution of the perpetrators. It is told by an elephant to his grand calves. The story covers the murder and the investigation by Chief Inspector Bobby Bloodhound and his renowned team of detectives. They investigate the ant colonies, the beehives, the ocean, the bird sanctuary, the farm, and the wild jungle. There is a chase, a capture, and a court case to follow. Many human comparisons can be made from the behavior and actions of the animals involved.

Author

Richard J. Atkinson

I, Richard J. Atkinson, was born in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, on February 5, 1948—a post-WWII baby. I went to schools in Brisbane and attended the University of Queensland, where I was awarded a BA Dip. Ed. I later was awarded a Grad. Dip. Ed. (computer education). I became a full-time teacher after two years of national service as a flight lieutenant in the RAAF. For the next thirty-four years, I taught math, English, economics, and computing subjects. In 2003 I retired from full-time work. I travelled extensively and worked casually as a relief teacher on call. I married in 1975 and had a daughter in 1982. She has illustrated my book. She gave us our first grandchild, a boy, in 2011. During my semiretirement, I developed a desire to write and wrote a novel about a world consisting only of women—my wife is still in the process of typing it up. As I travelled through the many schools I served, I observed many posters of animals and developed the idea for Animal Pursuits. After two years of editing and reediting after consultation with an assessor and some valued friends, I have arrived at the completed manuscript.
