Boynton shows us 'love that is clever' and 'love perhaps foolish', not forgetting 'love oh so hot' nor 'love rather coolish' (that old chestnut). The humorous animal characters bring light relief to the sometimes painful subject matter ('love despairing') to make this a truly charming and entertaining - but honest - look at love.
