Critics Review

‘What a tremendous book… As a species, Diski is genuinely a national treasure’

The deep allure of Diski’s writing is its combination of dry wit, rapier thinking, a disarmingly engaging conversational tone and moral clarity. Her book is a necessary read, sparkling, funny and warm. - Guardian - Ruth Padel

What a tremendous book… As a species, Diski is genuinely a national treasure. - The Lady - Stephanie Cross

A quirky, exhilarating expedition into the animal kingdom. - Mail on Sunday - Kathryn Hughes
