    A magical short book about his favourite family of mammals: weasels! This family-mustelidae– includes badgers, pine martens and otters, among other species, and all of them live in the wild on the Aigas estate, in the woods and the loch and the river and the fields and moorland that fan out from the baronial mansion where John lives. Mixing recent close encounters and patient observation with memories of his boyhood passion for these elusive creatures, this book teaches us so much about them and their habits and habitats, in John’s enchanting lyrical style.
