Opis

A comprehensive compendium of toad lore that surveys the history of the toad as biological entity, literary and artistic subject, mythological symbol, and threatened species. Far more than a volume for bufophiles, this is an insightful look at how humans through the ages have responded to, and have been influenced by their amphibian neighbours.
