Why read it?
1 author picked The Golden Mole as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I had just been reading and thinking about medieval bestiaries when I came across The Golden Mole. If there ever was a modern day equivalent of a bestiary, this would be it. The author uses her engaging writing style to introduce some of the most intriguing animals, like the narwhal and the pangolin, but I also learned some new facts about animals I thought I knew (such as that elephants are afraid of bees), and left with renewed wonder about the world.
