Because of serious back problems and unable to sleep, Chris Ferris started wandering through the countryside. Since then she has come to know the wild population of badgers intimately - she observes every detail of their lives each night. Out Of The Darkness is her account of the last two years in which she has witnessed their constant persecution, and in championing them she has been attacked by dogs, assaulted and shot at by unscrupulous poachers.
Summary Chris Ferris writes from her heart, with the experience and authority of some-one who has studies badgers and the harm people do to them.
