Longlisted for the Wainwright Book Prize 2019 A calming,
life-affirming book about the British countryside, the cycle of
nature, solitude and contentment, by a brilliant new nature writer
who spent time homeless as a young man, sleeping in the hedgerows
he now knows so well. Although common, moles are mysterious: their
habits are inscrutable, they are anatomically bizarre, and they
live completely alone. Marc Hamer has come closer to them than
most, both through his long working life out in the Welsh
countryside, and his experiences of rural homelessness as a boy.
Over the years, Marc has learned a great deal about these small,
velvet creatures who live in the dark beneath us, and the myths
that surround them, and his work has also led him to a wise and
uplifting acceptance of the inevitable changes that we all face. In
this beautiful and meditative book, Marc tells his story and
explores what moles, and a life in nature, can tell us about our
own humanity and our search for contentment. How to Catch a Mole is
a gem of nature writing, beautifully illustrated by Joe McLaren,
which celebrates living peacefully and finding wonder in the world
around us.
