À propos de cet audio
There are fewer grey seals in the world than endangered African elephants, but the British Isles host almost half of this global population. Every year these charismatic animals, with their expressive eyes and whiskers more sensitive than our fingertips, haul out on our shores to breed and raise their pups.
As graceful in the sea as they might seem clumsy on land, grey seals have visited our shores and enriched our culture for centuries. Yet we still know relatively little about these captivating animals. As Susan Richardson journeys to the crags and crevices of the coast, she explores the mysteries and mythologies of seals, learning not just how they live but also how we ought to live with them.

"Susan Richardson's work is a suspended state, caught between the us we presume to be and the species with which we share this watery, fragile planet. Cut and precise, archaic and innovative, transcendent and in-the-moment.... This beautifully written compendium summons up the sea we always thought it to be, but which now hovers in the balance." (Philip Hoare, author of Leviathan)
"[Richardson] writes in prehensile language, capable of grasping something vast, ancient, chthonic: the Earth in must." (Jay Griffiths, author of Wild)
"[Richardson] shows how art and writing can furnish both beautiful and challenging reflections on our relationship with animals.... Precise and playful; rhapsodic and rebellious." (Andy Brown)
