Journal Entry 1 by Cassiopaeia from Cardiff, Wales United Kingdom on Saturday, December 19, 2009

Description from Amazon
The classic story of an otter living in the Devonshire countryside which captures the feel of life in the wild as seen through the otter's own eyes

Henry Williamson (Tarka the Otter)
Tarka the Otter was published by Henry Williamson in 1927. It was only natural that Williamson should base the story around the Taw-Torridge rivers, as he spent most of his life in North Devon.

The Tarka Trail, as it is now called, is a honeypot for visitors every year. The countryside described by Williamson has remained virtually untouched. For those wishing to see the place where the Tarka's journey started and ended, it is Canal Bridge on the River Torridge near Weare Giffard.

Delightfully heart stopping little book. The detail of life on the river side magnificently observed. You become one with Tarka as he takes on everything that man and nature has to throw at him. Not to be missed.
Recommended for children over 10 and adults.
