A classic story of survival and adventure from the author of The Little Grey Men.

    Drawing on seven years of close observation and inspired by the work of natural scientists, Sally Carrighar wrote with exquisite detail, bringing readers to an exhilarating consciousness of the search for food and a safe place to sleep, the relationship between prey and predator, the marvelous skills and adaptations of nature. "One Day on Beetle Rock is one of the small, fine company of books that are not merely popular animal stories, or merely scientific studies of animals, but animal literature" --Saturday Review of Literature. B&W illustrations.
