Tiger Swallowtales live in libraries, bookstores, or in the book shelves of private homes. Their presence is often not noticed by humans as they are good at posing as bookends.


Tiger Swallowtales read voraciously and believe everything they read. As a result they are often confused and easily misled. When the frustration of reading conflicting material (especially anything about politics) becomes too much, they resort to chasing their tails to work off tension.


Most books, some periodicals, a good story, happy endings, pretty bookmarks and illuminated manuscripts.


Dog stories and lending libraries (they sometimes get returned with the books and have to find their way home.)


Once they have read all the books in one library, Tiger Swallowtales migrate to a new library or bookstore.
