About This Book

The author offers an affectionate series of close observations and anecdotes about tame and wild squirrels in her garden, following particular individuals, their courtships, young, and territorial rivalries. She describes daily visits, feeding habits, seasonal changes such as males losing tail fur, episodes of loss and a consequential decision to stop keeping squirrels caged, and the challenges of coexistence with neighbours, predators, and changing weather. The narrative alternates practical natural-history notes with personal recollections, charming illustrations, and reflections on freedom, domesticity, and the unpredictable life of small wild animals.
