Lovely adventurous story, written for rather intelligent children, it seems. I made a long list of words to look up, although the general meaning of most is evident. Many words not in common use in the US. The story is excellent, full of biology and botany, and the reader learns much about the wildlife in this area of the English countryside. The author lives here, or did, but the story is fictional, based on observed facts. A map is provided on the back cover of the jacket, which I found helpful. Young readers should enjoy this story, and adults should as well. I don't know the age range this was meant to include, but I would have loved the book in grade school. It's novel size so not for very young children. A literary book for kids.
