'Warm, honest, and beautifully observed. In Fat Dogs and French Estates - Beyond the Forest Fringe, Beth Haslam invites you into her and Jack's woodland world in southwest France, where wildlife encounters are by turns joyful, harsh, and deeply moving. This superbly compelling book will resonate with anyone who values deep connections between place, nature, and animals.' Patrick Joseph - My French House 'Beth Haslam has produced a masterpiece in the same league as The Elephant Whisperer. This book is a superbly written and perceptive exploration of the relationships we can build with our natural world and its inhabitants if only we take the time to nurture them. I learned, I laughed and I wept at the Haslams' experiences, but above all, I was uplifted.' Valerie Poore, author of the Living Aboard memoir series 'Exquisitely described, this feast of nature is a glorious addition to the Fat Dogs collection and will delight both long-time fans and new readers of Beth Haslam's writing.' Julie Haigh, Amazon and Goodreads Reviewer 'This is a story that will draw you in, move you, and make you appreciate nature in all its glory with its unfolding mysteries and resourcefulness. Through Beth Haslam's beautiful writing, deep love of the countryside, and extensive wildlife research, I felt as if I had walked the woodland tracks with her; watched the deer, pheasants, and boar that learned to survive in ways she came to understand, and throughout it all, I learned so much.'Kathryn Gauci, USA Today Bestselling Author of The Secret of the Grand Hôtel du Lac.
