Molecatcher/poet/wanderer of the Welsh countryside Marc Hamer shares his unconventional life story and uniquely inspiring philosophies alongside secrets of his ancient trade and fascinating facts about the tiny, miraculous, subterranean animals he spent a lifetime hunting. Smoldering with nature's beauty, mystery, indifference, and wisdom—and enhanced with elegant woodcut illustrations and Hamer's earthy poetry—How to Catch a Mole is both a marvelous work of nature writing and a profound memoir.
