Critter Tales Series is the electronic version of Critter What my homestead critters have taught me about themselves, their world, and how to be a part of it.
While some books lend themselves well to the electronic format, others are a bit of a challenge to convert to the digital format. Images, charts, and diagrams are either too small to see on an eReader screen or don't render well in the conversion process. Photographs require many kilobytes of space which creates a book, not of physical bulk, but of digital bulk.
The answer for Critter Tales was to publish it electronically as a series. With the exception of the introduction and postscript, each set of tales is self-contained and presentable as a stand-alone volume. Minor changes had to be made to accommodate eBook formatting, acceptable fonts, placement of photos, and font size for captions. The reader of the electronic edition gets the benefit of color photos, which would have made the print version very expensive. With a series, readers can pick and choose the critters in which they are most interested and, I hope, benefit from my research and experience while enjoying the tales at the same time.
Volume 1, Concerning Critters, introduces the reader to my husband and me, our homestead philosophy and goals, and to the tales that follow.
