'The eldest and biggest of the litter was a dog-cub. His fur was as soft and grey as the buds of the willow before they open at Eastertide. He was called Tarka'. This classic tale of an otter's life and death in Devon is as true as a man's account of a wild animal can possibly be. The book was hailed as a masterpiece as soon as it was published, and today Tarka is one of the best-loved creatures in world literature.
