The Golden Mole: and Other Living Treasure: 'A rare and magical book.' Bill Bryson

By Katherine Rundell

Book Overview

"A swift flies two million kilometres in its lifetime. That's far enough to get to the moon and back twice over - and then once more to the moon. A giraffe was once given to the King of France; she marched through the streets, dressed in the finest couture raincoat Paris could produce. A pangolin's tongue is longer than its body. It keeps it neatly furled in a pouch near the hip. A lavishly illustrated collection of the lives of some of the Earth's most astounding animals, The Golden Mole is a chance to be awestruck and lovestruck - to reckon with the beauty of the world, its fragility, and its strangeness."--
