The Times. — "The quality which perhaps most 

 gives its individuality to the book is distinctive of 

 Celtic genius. . . . The characters . . . are touched 

 with a reality that implies genuine literary skill." 



The Outlook. — " This book — we speak in deliberate 

 superlative — is the best essay in what may be called 

 natural history biography that we have ever read." 



CREATURES OF THE NIGHT 



A BOOK OF WILD LIFE IN WESTERN BRITAIN 



With Illustrations. 



The Tiims. — "So graphic is Mr. Rees' writing, 

 the reader himself feels one of the company, crouch- 

 ing in the brushwood in the moonlit wood, as a 

 crackle of twigs or a glint of light makes the stealthy 

 motion of otter, fox, vole, hare, or badger . . . these 

 pictures of them, in conditions so seldom described, 

 form engrossing reading for all who love the wilder 

 aspects of nature."
