At the far tip of Cornwall, John Tregarthen studied the foxes and otters of the cliffs and streams with a hunter-naturalist's patience. His account tracks the wily otter through vigil after vigil and follows the fox across old country. Atmospheric and close-observed. Watch the wildlife of England's rugged Land's End.

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.
