The Winning of Friends

The mirror image of the first book. A crow, a mouse, a turtle, and a deer — four creatures with nothing in common and every reason to fear one another — build an alliance of genuine friendship. When a hunter's net traps one of them, it is the loyalty of the others, not strength, that wins the day. Where Book I shows how friendship is lost, Book II shows how the weak, bound together by trust, become unbreakable.
