The Golden Mole

Aimed at readers who love nature and curious about the creatures with whom we share the planet, The Golden Mole by Katherine Rundell takes you on a globe-spanning journey through some of the world’s most astonishing and endangered animals. In this beautifully illustrated and witty volume, Rundell introduces pangolins, wombats, lemurs and seahorses, among others, weaving science with wonder and humor. The book is both a celebration of biodiversity and a urgent, persuasive call to treasure and protect nature before it disappears. The author’s engaging voice makes complex ideas accessible, while stories of individual animals illuminate broader ecological truths.

Rundell’s deft storytelling combines intimate portraits with a broad panorama, inviting readers of all ages to reflect on our impact and potential to change course. The Golden Mole is presented as a timely ode to life on Earth, balancing wonder with a clear message: action is needed to safeguard vanishing species. Published by Faber & Faber, the book spans 208 pages in a paperback edition, with a first edition released for a wide audience.
