About Beastly Britain
The remarkable history of Britain and its animals, told through ten iconic species: Have you ever wondered why we count sheep to get to sleep? Or where the phrase “red herring” comes from? In this enchanting, beautifully illustrated book, Karen R. Jones takes a journey through the history of ten animals to show the extraordinary story of “beastly” Britain. From the real to the legendary – hedgehogs and newts to ghostly hounds and the Loch Ness Monster – Karen reveals the place of these extraordinary ‘beasts’ in British cultural identity.
