Even as a young child Simon King was passionate about the natural world. Expressed in a variety of ways from keeping faintly rotting animal parts in his underwear drawer (as a 10-year-old) to making several hundred films about wildlife his enduring interest in all things wild & free has been a way of rather than a part of his life. Being savaged by a rabid cheetah charged at by rhinos & elephants & defecated upon by a long list of birds & other animals may sound like hell to some. But these along with countless other experiences alongside all things furry scaly slimy & feathery have provided him with an enormously rich bank of tales to relive & retell. With his professional life starting aged ten acting in a television drama called The Fox (for which he looked after an orphaned fox for two years at home) through projects such as Planet Earth Blue Planet Springwatch Autumnwatch & Big Cat Diary to name just a few Simon King has travelled to every continent & lived in extreme conditions from remote desert to Arctic & Antarctic wilderness. With characteristic honesty & charm Simon King weaves his animal stories amongst encounters with extraordinary people & astonishing places to give us a memoir that will delight readers. ...
