Beastly Britain

“Well researched . . . and well written.”—Mark Avery’s Blog “Jones’s pages bloom with detail, anecdotes and apercus. She is ridiculously readable to boot.”—John Lewis-Stempel, Country Life “An enchanting book. Beautiful illustrations, facts, stories and anecdotes offer surprises in every chapter, as we hear about the remarkable habits and long, long stories of British fauna. A walk in the garden, a wood or field will never be the same again. By helping us to love the hidden lives around us, Beastly Britain invites us to cherish and protect what survives.”—Fiona Stafford, author of The Long, Long Life of Trees “A wonderful blend of nature and history; of curiosity and revelation”—Benedict Macdonald, author of Rebirding “Its exquisite descriptions of flea circuses and their performers’ distinct abilities or sinisterly wolfish black dogs living nearly next door to my cottage are all too beguilingly brilliant to bypass.”—Derek Gow, author of Bringing Back the Beaver “Fascinating, quirky, and often personal. . . . May well transform the way readers see their island, themselves, and the critters that they live alongside.”—Andrew Flack, author of The Wild Within
