Rees writes the lives of wild animals of western Britain as close-observed narratives, beginning with an otter in its holt among the alders. Moonlit rivers, woodland clearings thick with pheasant-scent and the keeper’s lodge form the stage, and the hunters and hunted of the night move through the seasons much as a countryman would see them.
Animal biography in the tradition later made famous by Tarka the Otter, for anyone who loves the British countryside. Download the free EPUB.
