About this title

Synopsis

The message is definitely green, but it's not just for hard-core frogophiles. Of Frogs and Toads: Poems and Short Prose Featuring Amphibians collects what 70 contemporary writers, ranging from Pulitzer Prizewinners to a first-published author, claim to have learned from a decidedly cold-blooded muse. Of Frogs and Toads is a celebration of the warty creatures who are princes in disguise, as well as a lament for the precariousness of their existence in our modern world.
