Description
Grey seals have been a part of the British Isles' shores for centuries, their expressive eyes and sensitive whiskers a familiar sight. Yet, despite their charismatic presence, relatively little is known about these animals. Susan Richardson sets out to explore the mysteries and mythologies of seals, learning about their lives and how we can live with them. As she travels the coasts clockwise from Cornwall to Norfolk, Richardson follows the autumn pupping season, tracing the rhythm of the seals' lives. Along the way, she reflects on the connections between humans and the natural world, and how our relationship with the environment can be both enriching and challenging. Through her journey, Richardson beautifully marries the landscape of the polar regions with her own emotional topography, creating a vivid and thought-provoking portrait of the seals and their place in the world.
