From the Author's mouth

Vlasta Diamant reads excerpts from her This Really Happened–True Stories for Animals Lovers of All Ages. It is a collection of humorous vignettes about animals, happening and collected over decades. Among the writings about animals, true and fictional, how animals are perceived–makes a difference. When they behave like us, humans, we find it funny and entertaining. So it is all in the author's gift of observation and the narrative, associations and references. Vlasta's stories feature events in a simple language, accessible to pre-teens, while adults enjoy her humorous references. Appealing to such a disparate audience age is unique to This Really Happened. Visit "Animal up-close and funny" blog–interviews about the book.
