The world is more astonishing, more miraculous and more wonderful
than our wildest imaginings. 'Rare and magical book.' Bill Bryson
'A witty, intoxicating paean to Earth's most wondrous creatures.'
Observer 'Exquisite and timely.' Maggie O'Farrell ** Shortlisted
for the Waterstones and Foyles Book of the Year ** In The Golden
Mole, Katherine Rundell takes us on a globe-spanning tour of the
world's strangest and most awe-inspiring animals, including
pangolins, wombats, lemurs and seahorses. But each of these animals
is endangered. And so, this most passionately persuasive and
sharply funny book is also an urgent, inspiring clarion call: to
treasure and act - to save nature's vanishing wonders, before it is
too late. 'Deeply affecting, intimate and wildly funny . . . I
loved it.' Edmund de Waal 'A wondrous ode to nature's astonishing
beauty - and an elegy for all the life we are in the midst of
destroying.' Amia Srinivasan 'An exuberant celebration of
everything from bats, crows and hedgehogs to narwhals and wombats .
. . Rundell is incapable of writing a dull sentence.' Observer
'There is a constant joy in the book . . . A sense throughout of
delight and wonder, and a reminder that these emotions also matter
- may even save us. This is the point.' New Statesman
