The author of the perennial bestseller "The Cat Who Came for Christmas" now tells the inspiring stories of the creatures he's sheltered at his Black Beauty Ranch, America's most unusual animal sanctuary, located in East Texas. of color photos.Amazon.com Review
In Ranch of Dreams, Cleveland Amory recounts hisadventures traveling hither and yon for the Fund for Animals, savingcreatures from human excesses. A zoo lover since being introduced toAnna Sewell's BlackBeauty during childhood, Amory has made a great project offounding and maintaining an East Texas ranch that serves as asanctuary for endangered and abused creatures, from burros evictedfrom the Grand Canyon to a great menagerie of kinkajous, foxes, pigs,aoudads, buffalo, and elephants, among others. He is a gracious andknowledgeable commentator on the lives of these animals, and a man ofconsiderable tact, which must have helped when dealing with, say, theDefense Department in his efforts to save wild goats from a Californiaisland used for gunnery practice. ...

Cleveland Amory Ranch of Dreams
What a wonderful book. Mr.Amory can make one laugh, cry and most important of all to think. I would recommend it to animal lovers and everyone else

Adequate in the writing style department
I generally enjoyed "Ranch of Dreams" - what animal lover couldn't?Heartwarming stories of animal rescues written in a quick and oftentimes witty style.

However, it is that same writing style that occasionally brings Amory from the respectable "pro-animal" into the realm of "anti-human." He becomes argumentative and defensive at times, making me want to argue right back, despite the fact that I agree with him.

Despite this, Amory's book is a worthwhile read, though I would recommend seeking out a cheap used copy and spending the money you save on "Best Friends: The True Story of The World's Most Beloved Animal Sanctuary," another lovely book on saving animals in need.

Ranch of Dreams is Excellent!
I absolutely loved this book.Although difficult to handle when reading about the abuse of animals, it is so well written that you just can't put it down.Cleveland's sense of humor shows through his writing and makes this book a must-read!And, if you haven't been to the Ranch of Dreams - you must go!!! Black Beauty Ranch in TX is the most beautiful place in the world - and the beauty is so much more than what meets the eye!

Maybe a life-changing book.
Cleveland Amory wrote of his beloved cat Polar Bear, "Heaven will be no heaven for me if Polar Bear is not there."

I say heaven will be no heaven for me if Cleveland Amory is not there. Anyone with even a small soft spot in his heart cannot fail to be moved by the stories of the Black Beauty Ranch and the animals of various species that call it home.

Someone recently asked me what I'd do if I didn't need to work for a living. I think I'd want to go to Murchison, Texas and help care for the ranch's residents.

Ranch of Dreams Made Me Proud To Be A Texan
Having never read anything by Cleveland Amory before I was quite surprised to learn of Black Beauty Ranch in East Texas.Ranch of Dreams opened my eyes to what really goes on behind the circus tents,most haunting and heartwrenching the cruel treatment of the elephants,ripped from their mothers and herds and beaten into submission.Dear Mr Amory;he passed before writing a follow up book. The book is well worth the read,a lesson in human compassion,and when you are finished,pass it on to a friend. ... Read more

I should perhaps apologise for publishing a work which professes to deal with the sanctuaries of Piedmont, and saying so little about the most important of them all--the Sacro Monte of Varallo. My excuse must be, that I found it impossible to deal with Varallo without making my book too long. Varallo requires a work to itself; I must, therefore, hope to return to it on another occasion.
