Pauline Kidner Knihy

Pauline Kidner shares her Somerset farm with half a dozen young badgers, fox cubs, deer, tortoises and terrapins, bats, squirrels, dormice, owls, and myriad other creatures she has rescued and nursed back to health. Combining the patience of Job, the crisis managment skills of a Red Adair and a sense of fun, Pauline Kidner writes of her adventures with badgers and other animals, and of her struggles to establish Secret World, her Somerset farm as a wildlife rescue centre celebrated far and wide. The author won ITV's 1995 "Animal Country" award and is the author of "Life with Bluebell".

Pauline Kidner lives on a small dairy farm in Somerset surrounded by the wild animals she has rescued and cared for over the years. A family of badgers - including Pauline's favourite, Bluebell, - lives in the shed beside the milking parlour, foxes have the run of the tractor shed, Sammy the mink has a hut beside the front door, and there is a barn owl who once spent the night in a central London police cell. Each chapter of Pauline's delightful book is devoted to an individual animal or a particular family of animals, and her heartwarming story of devotion to animal rescue is crammed full with unusual and hilarious anecdotes. The author's sense of fun, love of animals and her down-to-earth common sense shine through every page of Life with Bluebell.
