About this title

Synopsis:

For over 1000 years Milu, a strange-looking species of Chinese deer, existed only in the Forbidden Park in Beijing. Robert Twigger tells the amazing story of how, in the late 19th century, Milu was saved from extinction by a Basque priest and an eccentric Englishman. In the process, he provides an illuminating meditation on a number of human obsessions - evolution, truth-telling, extinction, myth-making and survival.

Review:

"* 'A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius' meets 'The Surgeon of Crowthorne' - a funny and hugely entertaining tale * 'Brilliant... everyone should read it' - Tony Parsons * 'A splendidly written adventure' - Independent on Sunday * 'At last, a travel book with a raison d'etre... a wonderfully enjoyable tale' - Independent"

Store Description

We are a family run online bookshop based in Wales at the western edge of the Brecon Beacons National park and have been selling books online since October 2004. I have always had a love of books and it eventually got to the stage where my own book collection began to take over the family home! I reluctantly decided to sell a few of my own books on Amazon and was astonished at how quickly they sold. I was hooked and decided to start buying and selling books as a small part-time business from my spare bedroom. The business rapidly expanded, taking over the spare bedroom and my garage, swiftly followed by a spare bedroom in my mother's house and her garage! I acquired a small industrial unit in February 2007 and took the plunge to go full-time in March 2007, closely followed by my wife in September 2007. In October 2007 we moved in to larger premises and also took on our first members of staff to assist with the ever increasing workload. Our aim is to ensure that the people who buy our books enjoy the same service that we would hope for when purchasing a book ourselves. To that end, we endeavour to give all our books accurate descriptions, price them accordingly and dispatch swiftly and safely. All orders are dispatched within one working day, Monday to Friday. We will endeavour to answer all queries by email within 24 hours.
