A Chipmunk On My Shoulder
by: Helbemae, G.J.

True account of when the author introduces two chipmunks to his London apartment, he has only the vagest idea of what he is letting himself in for. Reckless high-speed chases, night raids on the food cupboards, nests in the sofas and bookcases; not to mention unlimited help with those long hours on the typewriter. At last an uneasy truce is agreed, during which he studies their habits and they study his, until the day the bolder of the two chipmunks escapes to the nearby park. B/W photos. 105 pages.
