The Bones, tells the story of a camel in Australia, who listens to a bigoted poet's view of the world, and is eventually shot by his own master. "Pigeons, a Pony, the Tomcat and I" tells the story of a lesbian cat, so in love with her owner (the famous French novelist, Colette) that she follows her owner to the trenches of WWI. "Red Peter's Little Lady" is a story composed of letters exchanged between Red Peter (an ape performing humanness), Hazel (Red Peter's future wife, an ape being transformed into a human), and Evelyn (Hazel's caretaker). As story progresses, the reader learns of Red Peter's love for Evelyn, his opinion on humanity, and his foolish renunciation of his animal self.
