AUTHOR and Secret World Rescue Centre founder Pauline Kidner has put pen to paper and written her fourth book about the trials and tribulations of working with Britain’s injured wildlife.

The book, entitled ‘A Place of Safety’, is filled with stunning photos and hilarious tales of animal rescues and releases that will bring a smile to any wildlife lover both young and old.

Pauline told the Weekly News: “It has been 25 years since the arrival of the first badger cubs here at Secret World and it’s been quite a journey for everyone involved since the creation of the charity.

“I never would have dreamed the charity would have grown so big.

“It’s amazing how nature still surprises you after all these years – even now we have a very young fallow fawn which is so late as they usually are born in June.

“I am so lucky to have close contact with such beautiful and sometimes rare creatures.”

The book has received endorsement from long-time supporter Chris Packham of BBC’s Springwatch and also includes a foreword by famous author Sir Terry Pratchett.

‘A Place of Safety’ will be officially launched on Saturday (September 13) when members of the public are invited to a presentation at East Huntspill Village Hall from 7.30pm.

Visitors will be able to meet Pauline and some of her animal friends and be able to buy their own signed copies of the book.
