The Otters’ Tale

Otters hold a special place in the animal kingdom of the British Isles, they are so rarely seen that they have been raised to mythical status. Simon Cooper lives in a normal house in a normal village, but with one extraordinary feature. Wild otters live in his house. This close relationship has given him a unique insight into the life of otters, particularly Kuschta, the central character to this story, but Simon interweaves Kuschtas personal story with the natural history of the otter.
