'For centuries Man has regarded animals as representations of qualities which he himself possessed. Ideas concerning the wiliness of the serpent, the faithfulness of the dog, and the industry of the ant are universal, and we are still reluctant to believe that the wolf, so long the symbol of rapacity, is actually a rather admirable creature. In this book Dr. Rowland discusses the fascinating symbolical and allegorical meanings of forty-seven animals from earliest times to the present.'
