: From the metamorphosing fairytale Frog Prince and The Tale of Jeremy       :
: Fisher, to dissections in science class, to television's Kermit, frogs are :
: ever-present in our childhoods. Just what is it about this slimy creature  :
: that captures our imagination? While much attention has been paid to the   :
: scientific qualities of the frog, little has been said about the large rol :
: played by this slippery amphibian in art, literature and popular culture.  :
: Charlotte Sleigh's witty, readable Frog provides an entertaining and       :
: sometimes shocking account of this much-loved, and much-misunderstood      :
: animal. Sleigh provides answers to many questions, including why frogs hav :
: been so prominent in science throughout the years and just what place the  :
: frog holds in religion. The many faces of the frog are also explored, such :
: as the devilish and comic; the sophisticated and chauvinist; the revolting :
: and delicious. The author weaves the natural history of the frog together  :
: with their mythology in a way that has not been done before. Featuring man :
: fine images of frogs from nature and culture, Frog will appeal to a wide   :
: audience - from those who keep these remarkable amphibians in their homes, :
: to those who recall stories from their childhood with affection, to those  :
: who regard them as a tasty dinner. Readers will also be pleased to know    :
: that all copies of Frog are guaranteed 100% wart-free.                     :
