by Couzens, Dominic

A colourful and amusing narrative charts the peaks and troughs as the author, his wife and two young children take up the challenge to scour the length and breadth of the British Isles in search of everything from Weasels and Stoats to Edible Doemice, Killer Whales and Wallabies. Featuring grumpy bats and psychopathic mice, a host of eccentric human characters, and the usual holiday stresses and family squabbles, this is a unique and charming blend of travel, natural history ti inform and inspire readers. Colour and b/w illustrations and photographs, 272pp. 2009
