About this Book

"In Cry of the Leopard, a young man seeks simple acceptance by his own species. Rejected by his mother and spurned by his church, he finds a friend in Obaman, a black scholar who believes the boy possessed of animal powers. The friendship is shattered when the Leopard Man listens to his own body's urges as a man." "When at last he finds a home among the denizens of the freak show, his true adventure begins and even in its darkest hour shows that the greatest wonder of the world is in the heart of animals."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
