I recently read Tarka the Otter [1], which is the story of a life of an otter. At the end he is hunted by a farmer and a pack of otter hounds. It is pretty brutal. Reminds you that at the time they were seen as vermin and a nuisance, not cute and furry.

Henry Williamson didn't sugarcoat the countryside. Can I recommend The Peregrine's Saga? Collection of short stories.
