Hedgehogs and hares, dragonflies and deer… This mini anthology is a celebration of the wild creatures that flutter, slither, swim or stride through the British countryside.
The strange language of bats and the exhilaration of wild ponies running free are brought vividly to life, while the sinuous body of an otter is captured in a poem of slippery word-play. The anthology is a reminder to pay attention to the natural world and its creatures – that although poems may appear to keep them safe, we should never take them for granted.
