John Murray €22 (£20)
THIS book’s subtitle is 100 Amazing Creatures Great and Small and it includes stories about a huge variety from rats to pigs, ducks to dolphins, and many dogs, horses, cats, even a giraffe. Written by the TV presenter and bestselling author Clare Balding, who is familiar to us mainly from her coverage of sports for decades, it is a delight, the sort of book you dip in and out of, rather than read from cover to cover.
