Fictional Story |
Description |
 |
Since well before the ice age, the
badger has been a part of the English countryside, a mysterious and rarely
glimpsed creature of the night.
Ewan Clarkson takes us into this twilight world through the story of Borun, one
of the badgers of the Summercombe wood. A combination of natural enemies and
persecution by local farmers force Borun to leave his home in search of a
new home. As he travels he encounters many adventures in the wild and forms
unusual friendships in his fight for survival in a changing and often
hostile environment. |
Summary |
 |
A dramatic and moving book, based on Ewan
Clarkson's first-hand observation of wildlife. His insights into the natural
order and its conflicts with the world of man provide a thought-provoking
dimension to an exciting story. |
