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.

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.
