Tolstoy's "Strider" (Kholstomer) is told from the perspective of a horse; also his "Three Deaths" has the perspective of a tree! As another commenter noted, Anna Karenina, also offers an animal's perspective (Levin's dog, Laska).

@anderlouis.bsky.social I’m excited to share your opening of War & Peace with my seminar students this fall. We devote the whole semester to War & Peace. I’m married to an Aussie and my older son has relocated to Oz. What a wonderful combination of Australia and Tolstoy you’ve created!
