In 1954 a young television presenter named David Attenborough was offered the opportunity of a lifetime - to travel the world finding rare and elusive animals for London Zoo's collection and to film the expeditions for the BBC. Now 'the greatest living advocate of the global ecosystem' this is the story of the voyages that started it all. Staying with local tribes while trekking in search of giant anteaters in Guyana Komodo dragons in Indonesia and armadillos in Paraguay he and the rest of the team battled with cannibal fish aggressive tree porcupines and escape-artist wild pigs as well as treacherous terrain and unpredictable weather to record the incredible beauty and biodiversity of these regions. The methods may be outdated now but the fascination and respect for the wildlife the people and the environment - and the importance of protecting these wild places - is not. Written with his trademark wit and charm Adventures of a Young Naturalist is not just the story of a remarkable adventure but of the man who made us fall in love with the natural world and who is still doing so today. 'An elegant and gently funny writer' Times 'His writing is as impressive and as enjoyable as his TV programmes and there can be no higher praise' Daily Express
