THE LIFE STORY OF A BADGER. By J. C. Tregarthen.

(Murray. Os. 6d.) THE LIFE STORY OF A BADGER. By J. C. Tregarthen. (Murray. Os. 6d.) THIS is an account of the birth, mating, adventures and travels of a white badger of Cornwall who is a badger and lays no claims to human qualities. It is written without any sen- timentality but with sympathy and knowledge and a kind of

grandfatherly simplicity which is both moving and dignified.
