| Description: |
Meet the remarkable Rex Harper, the Cornish-based combination of St Francis of Assisi and The Birdman of Alcatraz, James Herriot and Doctor Dolittle. Few men in Britain know more about the amazingly diverse creatures that inhabit our islands |
| Synopsis: |
In "An Otter on the Aga", Rex Harper brings to life the story of the incredible animal sanctuary that he and his family spent over forty years building. From small beginnings, the Harpers' haven became a magnet for an extraordinary array of animal waifs and strays and was designated the official RSPCA centre for Cornwall in the late 1970s, taking in more than 50,000 abused and abandoned creatures by the time Rex and his wife retired. In this tale he introduces us to the colourful cast of characters that have become his family - Patti the unlikely guard dog poodle, Odin the Machiavellian raven and One Eye the seemingly indestructible cat. He describes, too, the dark side of his work as an RSPCA warden, chronicling some of the inhuman cruelty he witnessed during his years at the forefront of animal welfare in Cornwall. Inspiring and poignant, warm and witty, "An Otter on the Aga" is an evocation of life close to nature, a book that will touch - and sometimes break - the hearts of animal lovers everywhere. |
