Although rarely seen in the wild, the otter is admired for its playful character and graceful aquatic agility, fixed in the popular imagination through books and films such as Tarka the Otter and Ring of Bright Water. This is just a small part of its story, however: throughout history, the otter has been hunted for its fur and to prevent it from killing fish. Featuring numerous images from nature and culture, as well as examples from folklore, sports, and literature, this wide-ranging book also explores the movement against otter hunting, and the ongoing efforts promoting otter conservation. A fittingly lively study of its subject, Otter offers a new way of thinking about this much-loved but endangered animal.

A timeless collection of stories told with a focus on children’s perspectives. Kenneth Grahame’s The Wind in the Willows is an enduring classic of children’s literature, and has been beloved by readers of all ages since its publication in 1908. In addition to the delightful tale about the adventures of Mole, Ratty, Badger, and Toad—illustrated in full color by Arthur Rackham—this volume includes more than two dozen short stories from Grahame’s collections The Golden Age (1895) and Dream Days (1898), the latter of which contains Grahame’s most famous short story, “The Reluctant Dragon.” With an emphasis on childhood perspectives and often devoid of adult sentimentalities, Grahame’s stories focus on the concerns of youth—a focus that makes these stories endure in the hearts and minds of today's readers.

Excerpt from Hunting the Sea Otter In the following pages 1 have endeavoured, from a sporting point of view, to give the reader some account of a hunting cruise among the Kurile Islands in quest of one of the most interesting and, as regards commerce, valuable of all the fur-bearing animals, the sea otter, and to furnish details also as to the method of hunting employed, which will hardly fail to attract attention, as, up to the present time, scarcely a record exists from the pen of an eye-witness. To these will be added such particulars of the haunts and habits of the animal as time and circumstances allowed me to observe. Born on the surface of the heaving ocean and cradled in the tempest, the sea otter only makes its home on such storm-swept waters and inhospitable coasts as almost preclude its pursuit by any but the hardy natives, whose lives have been spent amidst the surroundings of those gloomy regions and who are inured to peril and privation. The great distance from a base of supplies, expensive outfit, and the impossibility of effecting an insurance on the vessel in the event of shipwreck; the total absence, in many cases, of harbours, or, indeed, shelter of any kind, all add to the difficulty of the undertaking, nothing lessened by the shortness of the hunting season and rigorous climate.

Excerpt from The Life Story of an Otter The otter has long seemed to me worthy of serious attention, if only for the successful struggle it has waged against those exterminating agencies under which the badger, the wildcat, the polecat and the marten have all but succumbed. Its survival throughout Great Britain is due, partly to its endurance and resources when hunted, partly to qualities and habits which differentiate it from the other creatures of the wild. Its scent, for instance, unlike that of fox or badger, to which every tike and lurcher will stoop, is noticed by few dogs save hounds that have been trained to own it; and the outlawed beast thus gains a certain immunity from destruction.
