Rees is a collection of natural history studies written in the early 20th century. This work explores the diverse wildlife found in the countryside of Western Britain, focusing on nocturnal creatures such as otters, water-voles, and badgers. Through its descriptive narratives, the book aims to illuminate the lives of these animals in their natural habitats, blending fiction with observation to captivate readers interested in nature. The opening of the book introduces Lutra, an otter cub, as she embarks on her adventure in a picturesque river setting. The narrative vividly captures the serene beauty of the summer night, complete with celestial details and the gentle sounds of nature. As the story unfolds, we learn about Lutra's life with her mother and siblings in their cozy "holt," filled with playful antics and the mother’s nurturing guidance. Rees expertly combines whimsical moments with poignant observations of the challenges faced by these creatures, setting the stage for a rich exploration of wildlife that continues throughout the collection.
