A wonderfully entertaining celebration of that most unique of creatures: the sloth.

How old is the sloth?

How did a sloth save Dublin?

The answers to these questions, and more, are found in this wonderfully entertaining celebration of the sloth. Walking readers through the sloth''s evolutionary history - from the prehistoric ground sloth to modern pygmy - William Hartston reveals the sloth''s fascinating journey from maligned mammal to cause célèbre. Playfully peppered with science and filled with factoids, Sloths is a love-letter to the most anachronistic, and just a little bit ridiculous, of animals.

''Riveting... Sloths is as comprehensive a look at the instincts, lifestyle and capacities of this curious creature as you are ever likely to need.'' Daily Express
