Churchill's Menagerie: Winston Churchill and the Animal Kingdom

Review "From beak to tail feather and from flipper to fin, this is a book that will long be known, read, and savored." -- James W. Muller, Chairman of the Board of Academic Advisers of the International Churchill Society"Brendon has compiled a book which is scholarly, original and beautifully written, and casts fresh light on an important and underestimated side of Churchill’s protean character." -- John Campbell, 'Finest Hour', the journal of the International Churchill Society"Brendon approaches a much-studied subject—Winston Churchill—from an unusual but rewarding angle. The great pleasure of this work lies in reading Churchill’s animal-based metaphors and similes. Readers familiar with his life and times will relish Brendon’s idiosyncratic, far-ranging approach to profiling this ‘real British bulldog’ and imperial ‘lion rampant." ― Publishers Weekly (starred)

Doc fetch goes through Layer's Aerospike pull-through cache; cache hit served the row without touching turbopuffer. The similar query asks Layer for nearest neighbors of the stored product vector — queries don't go through the doc cache, so no cache header is set.
