Review
In Ranch of Dreams, Cleveland Amory recounts his adventures traveling hither and yon for the Fund for Animals, saving creatures from human excesses. A zoo lover since being introduced to Anna Sewell's Black Beauty during childhood, Amory has made a great project of founding and maintaining an East Texas ranch that serves as a sanctuary for endangered and abused creatures, from burros evicted from the Grand Canyon to a great menagerie of kinkajous, foxes, pigs, aoudads, buffalo, and elephants, among others. He is a gracious and knowledgeable commentator on the lives of these animals, and a man of considerable tact, which must have helped when dealing with, say, the Defense Department in his efforts to save wild goats from a California island used for gunnery practice.
From AudioFile
This devout animal lover has had some interesting adventures through the years as he rescued animals in distress. He has done everything from air-lifting wild burros out of the Grand Canyon to saving a chimpanzee from too many scientific experiments. Amory has met his share of eccentric characters through his animal acquisitions--people like the wacky zealot dedicated to saving wild buffalos from slaughter. Read in his deadpan Boston accent, these two tapes provide extremes--from enjoyable entertainment to head-shaking sadness as he graphically describes animal cruelty. For anybody concerned about animals, this is an inspiring title. A.G.H. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
