"The Badger: A Monograph" by Sir Alfred E. Pease is a natural history treatise written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the habits, habitats, and characteristics of the badger, a wild creature that captures the author's fascination. While Pease discusses his love of hunting and the intricacies of badger behavior, his ultimate aim appears to be fostering an appreciation for this often-overlooked animal within the English fauna. The opening of the monograph presents the author's deep appreciation and intrigue for badgers, particularly highlighting the excitement of observing them in their natural environment. Pease describes a serene summer sunset while sitting quietly near a badger set, recounting the various wildlife activities around him as he patiently waits for the badger's appearance. He notes the badger’s unique characteristics, its elusive nature, and the challenges of studying it without resorting to scientific tools, emphasizing a blend of personal observation and anecdotal experience rather than formal scientific rigor. The tone captures a sense of connection with nature and an understanding of the balance between the pursuit of knowledge and the act of hunting. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
Reading ease score: 69.5 (8th & 9th grade). Neither easy nor difficult to read.
