Britain is the home of the badger - there are more badgers per
square kilometre in this country than in any other. And yet many of
us have never seen one alive and in the wild. They are nocturnal
creatures who vanish into their labyrinthine underground setts at
the first hint of a human. Here, Patrick Barkham follows in the
footsteps of his badger-loving grandmother, to meet the feeders,
farmers and scientists who know their way around Badgerlands: the
mysterious world in which these distinctively striped creatures
snuffle, dig and live out their complex social lives. As the debate
over the badger cull continues, Barkham weighs the evidence on both
sides of the argument, and delves into the rich history of the
badger - from their prehistoric arrival in Britain and their savage
persecution over the centuries, to Kenneth Grahame's fictional
creation in Wind in the Willows and the badger who became a White
House pet. From the celebrated author of The Butterfly Isles, this
is rich, vivid nature writing at its best.
