Who says Humans are Smarter than Animals? A THRILLING ADVENTURE ON A MYTHIC SCALE The Jolicoing family may be a little eccentric but they never expected to be the one family on Planet Earth chosen to save the world. Drawn by mysterious forces to a magical hill in the ancient Land of Oc, they make a remarkable discovery - a book describing the forgotten era of THE GREAT BEFORE, when animals and humans walked and talked together in friendship and harmony. Written by the wise animal ancients more years ago than there are stars in the heavens, the book foretells that one day there will arrive a family, the Right Humans, who can restore the lost balance between mankind and the rest of the natural world, a family who will learn once again to speak with and understand the animals. But Fox and his clan of Wrong Ones do everything in their power to destroy the fragile trust building between the Jolicoings and their new creature friends. The family must look deep within themselves, learn to trust their instincts and open their inner mind's eye if they are to succeed in the task bequeathed to them. Join the Jolicoings, their talking sheepdog guide Karma, the mysterious motorcycle-riding Madame Aligot and a cast of thousands as they take you on this dazzling epic Journey Back to the Great Before
