4.0
Unsurprisingly, the narrative is focussed on Miriam's love of otters. One of my favourite things about this book is the tone - it is affectionate, soft and educational in equal parts.
It paints Britain's landscapes as truly fantastical and intricate, and summarises the ecological and conservational successes and difficulties for not only otters, but the environment in general. It offers a hopeful, engaging path through a multitude of areas, covering Scotland, England and Wales.
