A field vole's whole biography, told with the care usually reserved for people. Douglas English watches the small and the overlooked: the awakening of the dormouse, the apology of the house sparrow, the flight of the purple emperor. Close observation turns backyard creatures into vivid personalities. For anyone who has wondered what the little ones are up to, here are their stories.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
