This book is a sequel to RING OF BRIGHT WATER. It, too, concerns the interactions of otters and humans. Gavin Maxwell (1914-69), was a Scottish naturalist, traveller and author, best known for his work with otters. He wrote the classic 'Ring of Bright Water' about how he brought an otter back from Iraq and raised it in Scotland. Ring of Bright Water sold more than a million copies and was made into a movie starring Bill Travers and Virginia McKenna in 1969. The title 'Ring of Bright Water' was taken from a poem by Kathleen Raine, who said in her autobiography that Maxwell had been the love of her life. Jacket by James Millar Watt (illustrateur).…

A haven for wildlife, he named his home Camusfearna and settled there with the otters Mij, Edal and Teko. 'Ring of Bright Water' chronicles Gavin Maxwell's first ten years with the otters and touched the hearts of readers the world over, brilliantly evoking life with these playful animals in this natural paradise.
