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

"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)
