But each of these animals is endangered. And so, this most passionately persuasive and sharply funny book is also an urgent, inspiring clarion call: to treasure and act – to save nature’s vanishing wonders, before it is too late.‘Deeply affecting, intimate and wildly funny . . . I loved it.’ Edmund de Waal‘A wondrous ode to nature’s astonishing beauty – and an elegy for all the life we are in the midst ofdestroying.’ Amia Srinivasan‘An exuberant celebration of everything from bats, crows and hedgehogs to narwhals and wombats . . . Rundell is incapable of writing a dull sentence.’ Observer‘There is a constant joy in the book . . . A sense throughout of delight and wonder, and a reminder thatthese emotions also matter – may even save us. This is the point.’ New Statesman
