Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Wanger has managed the highly successful Acorn mutual fund for over 25 years, investing in undervalued but financially sound smaller companies with superior growth potential. Because there are so many stocks to evaluate, Wanger first looks for growth themes and then identifies specific companies. He doesn't believe in market timing and considers mutual funds to be the best option for most investors. Like Peter Lynch and John Rothchild's One Up on Wall Street (S. & S., 1989), this book does a good job of explaining the basics of investing in a nontechnical and often amusing manner, though it is largely limited to Wanger's own investing experience. Recommended for general and informed readers interested in investing.?Lawrence Maxted, Gannon Univ., Harborcreek, Pa.

Don Phillips Morningstar, Inc. Ralph Wanger's A Zebra in Lion Country is a delightful book. Few managers can match Wanger's investment prowess. Fewer still can share the secrets to their success with such wit and clarity. From novice to pro, every investor should read this book. -- Review
