A Wolf Called Romeo

From award-winning author and photographer Nick Jans A Wolf Called Romeo is beautifully written...a thoughtful and moving story about one of nature's most evocative animals. (Patricia B. McConnell author of The Education of Will and The Other End of the Leash)<br/><br/>A Wolf Called Romeo is the true story of the exceptional black wolf who spent seven years interacting with the people and dogs of Juneau Alaska living on the edges of their community engaging in an improbable awe-inspiring interspecies dance and bringing the wild into sharp focus. <br/><br/>When Romeo first appeared author Nick Jans and the other citizens of Juneau were wary but as Romeo began to tag along with cross-country skiers on their daily jaunts play fetch alongside local dogs or simply lie near Nick and nap under the sun on a quiet afternoon Nick and the rest of Juneau came to accept Romeo and he them. Part memoir part moving animal narrative part foray into the mystique lore science and history of the wolf A Wolf Called Romeo is a book no animal lover should miss. <br/><br/>Jans is an exceptional storyteller -- no nature writer can top him in terms of sheer emotional force.--The New York Times <br/><br/>Jans is a perfect narrator for this story. He's deeply knowledgeable about the Alaskan wilderness and he evokes its harsh beauties in powerful and poetic prose...A tingling reminder of the basic bond that occasionally spans the space between two species.--Christian Science Monitor
