- The Ferret Chronicles is a series of short novels set in a fantasy world mostly similar to the real world except in which intelligent animals live alongside humans. It primarily focuses on ferret characters with only occasional references to humans or other intelligent animal species. The author and illustrator of the series is Richard Bach, and the five novels were originally published by Scribner Publishing. Condensed versions of the novels have since been republished first by Hampton Roads Publishing Company. and more recently by Jaico Publishing House. The first two novels share the same publication date leading to Amazon and GoodReads disagreeing on the numbering of the novels. The books themselves do not explicitly state a sequence. There are five main novels in the series. There is also an omnibus that collects condensed versions of them all into one volume. As with the author's widely known Jonathan Livingston Seagull and Illusions, The Ferret Chronicles works to further illustrate his philosophy as well as build off of his background as a pilot. The first four novels begin with a ferret prophesy written in Ferret script (also called "ferrune") followed by a short ferret fable written twice: first in Ferret script and second in Latin script with the moral emphasized. There is no explanation provided in any of the books for Ferret script, but it is a simple substitution cipher. The novels also have a small number of illustrations scattered throughout them, and some of these also feature bits of writing in Ferret script. (en)

- Whatever harm I would do to another, I shall do first to myself.
As I respect and am kind to myself, so shall I respect and be kind to peers, to elders, to kits.
I claim for others the freedom to live as they wish, to think and believe as they will. I claim that freedom for myself.
I shall make each choice and live each day to my highest sense of right. (en)
