Observing animal behavior up close
Konrad Lorenz frames the book around close observation of animals raised in and around his home. The legendary Seal of Solomon supplies the title’s image of communication across species, while the account focuses on Lorenz’s methods for studying animal behavior and the conclusions he drew about animal psychology. Its subject sits at the meeting point of zoology and everyday encounters with animals, presenting observation and interaction as routes to investigating how different species behave.

The title refers to the legendary Seal of Solomon, a ring that supposedly gave King Solomon the power to speak to animals. Lorenz claimed to have achieved this feat of communication and of being "understood" by several species, by raising them in and around his home and observing their behavior and personally interacting with them. King Solomon's Ring describes the scientific methods of his investigation and his fascinating resulting conclusions about animal psychology.
