Chris Packham Charles Foster is the most original voice in nature writing today - funny urgent poetic philosophical and deeply moving Patrick Barkham Utterly exhilarating This book demands we change our ways Lee Schofield We have long since isolated ourselves from our fellow animals banishing them into exile and dominating the land they once roamed. But still they endure on the edges of our existence: a fox grown strong on pepperoni pizza from the dustbins of the East End a rabbit dodging a bullet a gannet diving through an oil slick. In spellbinding prose Charles Foster gives us a bird's eye view or indeed an orca's or an otter's of the wonders and struggles of the natural world.
