Ring of Bright Water by Gavin Maxwell

Hailed a masterpiece when it was first published, the story of Gavin Maxwell's life with otters on the remote west coast of Scotland remains one of the most lyrical, moving descriptions of a man's relationship with the natural world.

Gavin Maxwell was up in a small community in southwestern Scotland, where he developed an interest in nature. When he was an adult, he went on a tour of the reed marshes of Southern Iraq, he kept his passion for exploration alive. He captured an otter there and returned it to his isolated Scottish house of Sandaig. The otter was the topic of his most well-known novel, Ring of Brilliant Water, which went on to sell over a million copies.
