"Wild Life at the Land's End" by J. C. Tregarthen is a non-fiction work written in the early 20th century. The book provides a detailed observation of the habits and habitats of various wildlife, including the fox, badger, otter, seal, and hare, specifically in the rugged and picturesque landscapes of Cornwall. Tregarthen's writing reflects a deep appreciation for nature and the intricate relationships between animals and their environment. The opening of the book introduces the character of Andrew, the Earthstopper, as he embarks on a nocturnal journey across the moors of West Cornwall. It sets a vivid scene of the rugged terrain under a starry sky, highlighting Andrew's tasks of tracking and stopping the earths of local wildlife, such as foxes and badgers. As he traverses the eerie landscape, he becomes aware of unsettling happenings, including a miner's frantic ride after a tragic accident. The narrative paints a rich and immersive picture of the natural world while also hinting at the human dramas intertwined with these wilderness adventures.
