| Summary | "Animal Life of the British Isles" by Edward Step is a comprehensive guidebook written in the early 20th century. This work serves as a pocket reference to the mammals, reptiles, and amphibians found in the various woodlands and waysides of Britain. The book is aimed at nature enthusiasts and those interested in observing wildlife in its natural habitat, providing insights into the lives and habits of these creatures. The opening portion of the book starts with a preface that emphasizes the accessibility and popularity of the "Wayside and Woodland Series," of which this volume is a part. It outlines the criteria for inclusion as it focuses on terrestrial vertebrates, excluding birds and marine animals. Step highlights the importance of careful observation in studying these animals, providing eloquent advice on how to engage with nature, from choosing quiet observation spots to employing patience. He introduces readers to various native species, starting with insectivores like the Hedgehog and the Mole, detailing their characteristics, behaviors, habitats, and diets, all of which set the stage for a deeper exploration of animal life across the British Isles.
