Features
30 Fox Tales (Cover Story)
The trickster-like figure of the cunning fox is almost universal in folklore and mythology, says Trevor Ouelette, but it also has a frightening tendency to possess and transform its human compatriots
39 Stoat Packs
The stoat is notorious for its ability to 'freeze' a rabbit with its glare, its slinky, hypnotic dance and its ruthless predatory nature. However, Merrily Harpur reveals some less well-known behaviour - the triumphal capture dance, the funerary hiding of killed stoats and the swarming of huge stoat armies.
46 Divine Monsters
Handel House Museum in London is presenting an exhibition on the composer's musical relationship with 18th-century castrati, and Jen Ogilvie explores the vanished world of these sexually ambiguous superstars who suffered a major loss in the hope of attaining fame and glory.
