Présentation de l'éditeur
Tbob two first of the little works included in this volume, viz., the Salmon and the Fox, have already been published.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a unique and entertaining autobiography of an Atlantic salmon living in the Tweed River in Scotland. Opening with the moment he hatches from his egg on the river bed, the salmon narrates his fascinating life, from his early struggles dodging predators and learning the dangers of the river, to his perilous journey down to the North Sea, then back up to his birthplace as he grows to adulthood. The author fills the book with in-depth descriptions of the salmon's aquatic habitats, the many dangers the fish face, and strange and wonderful creatures he meets along the way. The author explores the many challenges Atlantic salmon populations face and draws attention to the harmful effects of pollution and human intervention that threaten their survival.
