The polecat's recovery in Britain is one of the least celebrated wildlife success stories of recent times, probably because it has done it discreetly and all by itself with no active human involvement. Our spirits have been lifted by the carefully managed reintroduction of red kites, the nocturnal polecat has slipped back under the radar.

After a close brush with extinction, the pine marten is making headlines as it recovers its numbers in Britain and Ireland. This book aims to reacquaint us with this enchanting mammal, to appreciate the pine marten's impish charms, and to find ways to sustain it's populations.
