Britain's wild mammals hide in plain sight. Edward Step's handbook parades them by kind: the mole and shrews, the bats, the fox and badger and otter, the rabbits, voles, and squirrels of hedge and wood. A pocket natural history of an island's beasts. Learn who rustles in the British undergrowth after dark.

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.
