A classic of nature writing, Tarka the Otter was beloved by Rachel Carson, Ted Hughes, and Thomas Hardy, and is a survival story influenced by the author\'s time fighting in World War I.
Soon he must fend for himself, travelling through rivers, woods, moors, ponds, and out to sea, sometime.
The Otter cub Tarka grows up with his mother and sisters, learning to swim, to catch fish--and to fear the cry of the hunter and the flash of the metal trap.
In the wild there is no safety.
