Story Behind The Book
Mr. Sterling H. Conway wrote The Hippo as a Family Pet as a tribute to the Dalai Lama who he thinks he won in a poker game. Mr. Conway lives in Toronto, Palm Beach and "Anywhere I can get a bed for the night." and claims to have perfected time travel and to have discovered three previously unknown planets that, he states, "Are hiding behind the sun."
Last year Mr. Conway was awarded the Pulletser Prize by the Egg Marketing Board for his novel, The Yolk's On Us.
