Description

Tarka the Otter is a story of survival and growth, set in the wild. The story follows the journey of an otter cub as he learns to navigate the dangers of the natural world. From the comfort of his family's den to the freedom of the open river, Tarka must confront the harsh realities of life and face his greatest fears. As he travels through rivers, woods, and moors, Tarka encounters a range of characters, each with their own story to tell. With the help of his mother and sisters, he learns to hunt and survive, but he also faces formidable foes, including a pack of hounds and a fearsome dog named Deadlock. This beautifully written novel is a worthwhile read for anyone who loves the natural world and the stories of its creatures.
