BY J. C. TREGARTHEN 



The Story of a Hare 



With Illustrations. Large crown 8vo. 2s. 6d. net 



This is a drama of the wilds, portraying the life of a hare in 

 a country infested by her enemies, fox, otter, marten, polecat, stoat, 

 etc., from each of which she has narrow escapes. 



The narrative, which is placed a hundred years ago, describes 

 the ruses, shifts, and wiles the hare employs in order to avoid dis- 

 covery, and to escape from pursuers. The scene is laid near Land's 

 End, a district of upland, moor, and cliff, as wild as it is varied, 

 affording an admirable setting for the life of a hare, which is now for 

 the first time told at length by one who is an authority. 



" Has the rare gift of seeing life from the point of view of the 

 animal he is describing. Altogether it is a fascinating book, and 

 it will add considerably to a reputation which already stands deservedly 

 high."— Globe. 



The Life Story of an Otter

" It would be difficult to present nature study in a more attractive 

 form than that which has been adopted by Mr. Tregarthen. All who 

 are interested in wild life will enjoy the freshnesr of a narrative which 

 is as exhilarating as any Otter hunt can be." — Scotsman. 



"... The book is one in which naturalists will especially rejoice 

 because they will find what cannot be found elsewhere ; but there is 

 no class of reader above the age of twelve who would not find satisfac- 

 tion in this speaking description of Western scenery and graphic tale of 

 the most mysterious of its denizens." — Times. 



•*. . . A very fascinating life-story of the Otter. . . . The author 

 describes in detail many interesting habits which are not dealt with in 

 the majority of text-books." — Birmingham Post. 



"... A very excellent addition to the animal biographies in which 

 lovers of wild nature delight. . . . The book is capitally written, full 

 of the right open-air feeling and of suggestive descriptions of the wild 

 moorland and coast of the West country."— Z>az7)/ Telegraph.
