By the way, have you heard of her ww? The books were of her night-time adventures in your part of the country in Kent.
The darkness is light enough iis an excellent book for Badger lovers - it tells of her adventures largely before the baiting got out of hand as related in out of the darkness.

Ive actually met her, and was aware of the alias - obviously not going to post her real name here. Gutsy lady to take those oooooooos on on her own.

see this link for a complete list of her books http://www.bookkoob.co.uk/books-by/chris+ferris.htm

Another Badger book whhich is very good is "Badgers of punchbowl farm" and "Wild valley" about nightime adventures with Badgers in sussex - can't remember who by though. (edit - these two are by monica edwards)
