The Strange White Doves

A haunting book of true stories about animals who understood a mysterious 'silent language of nature' and could read minds and communicate without words. These strange, short, true tales tell about the raccoon who 'told' his friends about a feast, the snake who purposively haunted the man who killed his mate, the wild dog who understood conversation, the plants that knew man's intentions, and many other animals who seemed especially gifted. [The author] tells too how he gradually came to believe in a Pool of Knowledge that animals know about and men can tap if they will be wise enough to stop, and be quiet, and listen.
