About This Book

A series of field sketches and narratives records the habits and haunts of foxes, badgers, otters, seals, and hares on a rugged Cornish peninsula. Observational natural history mixes with hunting episodes, tracking and capture accounts, nocturnal visits to seal caves, shoreline fishing, and local reminiscences; the landscapes of moors, cliffs, coves and valleys provide setting, and local characters such as an earthstopper and other pursuers appear. Photographic plates and a glossary complement the essays.
