Review:

Not just for twitchers: his style is dynamic, vivid, startling, and so beautiful that you'll read each sentence over and over.

(Country Walking)

A great piece of nature writing that brilliantly evokes the Essex landscape.

(BBC Countryfile)

'John Alex Baker was something of a mystery and not a great deal is known of his private life, ... But few people have gained - and successfully shared - such a deep understanding of a wild animal, and for that Baker will never be forgotten.'

(Fergus Collins BBC Countryfile)
