A Black Fox Running by Brian Carter

---

Having been to Dartmoor several times, the beautiful, lyrical descriptions of nature in this book instantly took me back there. It was as if I could see, hear and smell it myself. The world of the foxes feels strange, a bit otherworldy but very down-to-earth at the same time. I loved how the different animal species interacted and communicated. The trapper and his hound really were the bad guys, but I also felt for them. Enjoyed this immensely, although I would have liked to know the animals' names for places. Towns, tors and roads were named according to the map throughout the book. I understand why, but it felt a bit out of place when the story was told from the foxes' perspective.
