THE CHRONICLES OF VETERINARIAN DOC FARLEY AND HIS UNIQUELY AILING PATIENTS

About the Book

This is a collection of whimsical poems about creatures with peculiar physical disorders who seek out Veterinarian Doc Farley to resolve their unique conditions. The series was conceived and written for the entertainment of children and all persons who are instilled with an imagination and sense of humor.

Within my will-o’-the wisp animal kingdom, I’ve created an assortment of animal characters that are imbued with the ability to vocalize their preposterous conditions to Doc Farley. Once he has assessed their infirmities he finds and applies equally absurd solutions enabling them to return to the fanciful realms from which they came.
