Reviews
A beautiful book. * The Herald *
This smartly edited hardback portrays one man's desire to chart the revival of the otter's fortunes, which begins on his home river, but evolves into a long-term study of this enchanting mammal. * Country Life *
The images are outstanding and not only of otters, as the keen naturalist captures myriad flora and fauna when on forays. * Country Life *
Anna Levin...stitches together the threads of the tale in a readable, lyrical, but not slushy way. * Country Life *
[Campbell and Levin] weave a wealth of information into the stories that the pictures tell - and the result is 175 pages of pure delight. * Book of the Month, Countryside *
