Annotation
This is a delightful fable in the great tradition. The long-tailed field mouse who is the hero of the story, was involved - and this is true - in a programme of field research and while scientists observe him he observes man and the rest of nature. This enchanting book reads like a fairy tale, but the author has indeed built a bridge from fairyland to science, and there is profound meaning in this story which will be a delight to people of all ages who care about man and nature
