Dormice

Britain has two species of dormouse - the hazel dormouse, which is attractive, cute, and rarely bites; and the edible dormouse, which is big, noisy, bad-tempered and vicious. Unfortunately the hazel dormouse has become very rare whilst the edible dormouse is an unwelcome visitor in houses where it shows a propensity for gnawing electric cables. The author has spent 20 years researching both species of dormouse and his enthusiasm, affection and sense of humour are clearly demonstrated in this informative and entertaining book. Packed with serious research results and natural history, yet presented in a lighthearted way, with many delightful drawings, it's an excellent read and reference for ecologists and enthusiasts alike.
