Inhoud
The author's first book, "When Badgers Wake", was acclaimed by critics and public alike, and her beautiful sketches helped in making it one of the 'Fifty Beautiful British Books of the Year 1955', selected by Sir Basil Blackwell. This book will appeal once again to every nature lover, including the skilled naturalist, for it is a reliable record of first-hand experience with wild life.
The book deals with a wide diversity of subjects. As would be expected from one who has made an exhaustive study of the badger, there are chapters describing the life of a badger colony where the author has watched through many night hours. Experiences with foxes, hares and other animals of the field are related, and a section of the book is devoted to the author's garden where a variety of animals find sanctuary, and the birds have become so tame that they frequent the house almost as readily as the garden.
