An Amazon Best Book of the Month"Insightful and philosophical, Jans
probes the boundaries between wilderness and civilization and our
responsibilities to the untamed creatures in our midst." --
Publishers Weekly"The sweet and cautionary tale of a wolf that
liked to play with dogs...An astute, deeply respectful encounter
between man and wolf." -- Kirkus Reviews
"Jans is an exceptional storyteller -- no nature writer can top him
in terms of sheer emotional force -- and he frames even the
smallest moment with haunting power." -- The New York Times"A
thoughtful, highly detailed account of one community's poignant
encounter with a truly magnificent creature." --
BookPage"Beautifully written, A Wolf Called Romeo is a thoughtful
and moving story aboutone of nature's most evocative animals. Be
forewarned: I read it cover to cover in one sitting late into the
night. The author owes me a good night's sleep; but it was well
worth it." -- Patricia McConnell, author of The Other End of the
Leash"The compelling, grounded account of a black wolf that stepped
forward in the half-light between wilderness and civilization and
the people who met him there. From the powerful first moments to a
hard-won conclusion that becomes our journey, too, A Wolf Called
Romeo is a book to keep a reader up nights, and a book that carries
long after the last page is turned." -- Susannah Charleson, author
of Scent of the Missing and The Possibility Dogs"A Wolf Called
Romeo is one of the best books I've read in a great many years. It
gives heart-wrenching insight into an amazing animal, important
insight into the shining side of our relationship with that animal,
and important if bitter insight into the dark side. It's told in a
quiet, even-handed manner which makes it all the more compelling,
and it's riveting. In short, this is a real page turner-- one that
years from now you will remember in all its detail. If you have
only the time to read one book, read this one." --Elizabeth
Marshall Thomas, author of The Hidden Life of Dogs and A Million
Years With You
