Before Martha Stewart named him her “pet keeper,” and
before millions of people turned to him for advice, Marc
Morrone had a simple dream: to learn everything he possibly
could about every kind of animal and share that knowledge
with others. In this lively, colorful memoir, Morrone offers
a heartfelt and candid look inside a life well-lived with
creatures great and small, from the domestic to the exotic,
from frisky ferrets to renegade reptiles to rare parrots.
Morrone is an enthusiastic champion of all animals—furred,
feathered, or scaled, domestic or wild—and his lifelong
adventures take us from his internationally renowned pet
store, Parrots of the World, to his home and personal
menagerie, covering his media roles on both television and
radio. Inspiring, informative, and frequently amazing,
Morrone’s story is a memorable tribute to one man’s passion
for the world of animals and his enduring commitment to
their care.
In A Man for All Species, animal
expert Marc Morrone weaves thrilling, inspiring, strange,
and often hilarious experiences with practical advice
gleaned over his forty-year career, revealing a world of
adventure and anguish, humor and heart, that every pet owner
and animal lover will recognize.
