Beechen Cliff is a real place in Bath. If you have ever visited our beautiful city, you will have seen the canopy of trees rising to the south. There are badgers there. Lots of them. I often see them in Greenway Lane when I'm on my way to and from the pub on a Thursday night.
I'm not a big animal rights activist but a little bit of live-and-let-live approach to each other and to the creatures that make up our world would benefit us all.
With badgers so much in the news in Britain (they are to be culled / shot because of a possible link between them and diseased cattle) I decided to write The Badgers of Beechen Cliff. It's in the tradition of those animal stories you read as a child. Those that first got you interested in the lives of animals and induced some sense of empathy and fellow-feeling. But it's not sentimental. It's about our lives now.
It's free to download for the next few days. Just follow the link below. If you're prepared to write a review that would be very kind. Telling your friends and their children would be even more considerate.
Any comments about the writing or the illustrations would also be gratefully received.
