Evolution seen in microcosm through the story of the peppered moth – speckled and freckled and a master of disguise. The poetic text, written by a scientist, combined with mixed media illustrations, demonstrates how this creature has survived through adaptation, responding to natural change and human intervention in the environment, so that now there are both light and dark peppered moths.
