ELEGY FOR A RIVER (PB)

Water voles are small, brownish, bewhiskered, and charming. Made famous by 'Ratty' in The Wind in the Willows, once they were a ubiquitous part of our waterways and a totem of our rivers. Now, however, they are nearly gone. This is their story, and the story of a conservationist with a wild hope: that he could bring them back. A book for anyone who has watched ripples spread on lazy waters, and wondered what moves beneath.
