Publisher's Synopsis
'A beautiful book.' DAILY TELEGRAPH It is a peaceful valley of woodland and marsh, unchanged for centuries - until a ferocious invader appears: wild mink, savage and unstoppable. It is left to a brave but tiny hunter, Kine the weasel, to fight back against the she-mink Gru and her dark followers. So with Kine, his beloved mate Kia, and their motley allies we spend one glorious, unforgettable summer in a place where solitary creatures prowl secret paths and hedgerows, and whiskered legions gather for battle as autumn draws near. And people-creatures tower over them: Poacher, stubborn and irascible; a girl equally wilful in saving him; and a boy in love with her.
