Book Description
Max has made a name for himself as a rabid psychopath who has used random acts of violence to instigate a campaign of terror. He feels his blood-thirsty reputation is undeserved and wants to set the record straight. A quirky tale filled with black humor, this is the story of an ermine and his struggles with injustice.
Editorial Reviews
Review
Highly original and beautifully written … Each Day A Small Victory is not just a rich, sensuous, deeply humorous animal story – it is also a brilliant celebration of life, death and the whole damn thing. Country Life Magazine –Country Life Magazine
I’ve been reading a remarkable little book – ‘Each Day a Small Victory’ by Chips Hardy. It’s a kind of cute animal tale with a twist – it ain’t cute! Far from it. This is anthropomorphic nature red in tooth and claw, with a twist of black humour. The anti-hero of the book, Max, is a stoat whose only aim in life is to find his next meal, while avoiding becoming someone else’s. In that sense, it’s the most honest animal story I’ve ever come across, and it’s a great read. Chips clearly knows his countryside very well indeed – there is plenty of detail about the various animal characters and their habits. He is a British Comedy Award winner. The book has some stunning illustration by Oscar Grillo, who has worked on Monsters Inc and Men in Black, among others. –Sporting Shooter Magazine
