| Summary | "Anecdotes of Animals" is a collection of charming short stories showcasing various animals, likely written in the late 19th century. This collection includes tales that highlight the intelligence, loyalty, and extraordinary behaviors of animals such as dogs, cats, bears, elephants, and others, often with moral undertones or humorous twists. The opening portion introduces a variety of anecdotes, beginning with the amusing account of an abbot who entertains King Louis XI of France with a concert of swines' voices, showcasing the cleverness of animals when arranged together. Other stories introduce a Newfoundland dog that smartly fetches his master, a magpie that learns to imitate trumpet sounds, and a lioness that proves her gratitude in a moment of danger. This diverse array of stories invites readers to admire the various traits and intelligences of animals, leaving a lasting impression of their unique bonds with humans and their remarkable capabilities.
