Wild Life at the Land's End Observations of the Habits and Haunts of the Fox, Badger, Otter, Seal, Hare and of Their Pursuers in Cornwall

"Wild Life at the Land's End" by J. C. Tregarthen is a non-fiction book that explores the lives of animals like foxes, badgers, otters, seals, and hares in Cornwall. Set against the beautiful but rough backdrop of Land's End, the book shows how these creatures live and interact with their surroundings. The story starts with Andrew, the Earthstopper, walking across the moors at night, showing the reader the difficult terrain and the important job of tracking and stopping up the burrows of wildlife. As Andrew moves through the dark landscape, he senses strange events happening around him, like a miner rushing by after an accident, mixing the wonders of nature with human stories. Tregarthen's writing celebrates nature and shows the connections between animals and their environment.
