Summary "The Book of the Otter: A Manual for Sportsmen and Naturalists" by Richard Clapham is a detailed manual exploring the natural history and hunting practices associated with the otter, written in the early 20th century. This work aims to bridge the gap in knowledge surrounding otters among sportsmen and naturalists, especially given the growing popularity of otter hunting. The book addresses the behavioral traits, habitats, and hunting methods involving otters, offering a combination of scientific insight and practical guidance. The opening of the book begins with a preface outlining the author's intent to enlighten readers about the elusive otter, a creature often poorly understood despite its significance in the hunting community. Clapham emphasizes the lack of literature on the subject, acknowledging the need for a comprehensive guide. Following the preface, the introduction by William Thompson expresses enthusiasm for the book while suggesting areas for expansion. The opening chapters focus on the natural history of the common otter, detailing its physical characteristics, habitats, and dietary preferences, and setting the stage for a deeper exploration into otter hunting techniques and practices.
