At the intersection of conservation, environmentalism, and human nature – boy, what a busy junction! – these four stories show that Dewey Dabbar really has his finger on the pulse with his latest offering. Whether that's the blisteringly fast pulse of a shrew or the lethargic beat of a resting whale is something that you will need to decide for yourself.
The stories attempt to answer many questions that you might never have thought you'd ask: What happens when a man with Yosemite Sam whiskers meets a nonplussed bear? Do zebra spiders know the difference between clockwise and anti-clockwise? What, on Earth, is an emerald-mottled firebird? And just how much damage can Adrian Delawyk's size-thirteen boots do?
Dewey Dabbar is the fiction-only pen name of an amateur field naturalist who lives in a small city in the East of England. There he wanders the surviving scraps of wild land and dreams about what once was and might be again.
