Before the Sun: A year in the lives of Moorland foxes

by David Parkinson

"Before the Sun highlights the conflict between men and foxes on the moorlands of Britain, which to the outsider appear to be such a tranquil, idyllic environment. Here gamekeepers and farmers wage a constant battle against predatory foxes in defense of their livelihoods; the production of grouse and sheep, significant factors in the rural economy. The story line takes us through a year in the lives of two foxes all the while running the gauntlet of bullet, snare, and dogs." (back cover)
