Wild Life - Softcover
Even as a very young child, Simon King was passionate about the natural world. Being savaged by a rabid cheetah, charged at by rhinos and elephants and defecated upon by a long list of birds and other animals may sound like hell to some. But these, along with countless other experiences alongside all things furry, scaly, slimy and feathery have provided him with an enormously rich bank of tales to relive and retell.
With characteristic honesty and charm, Simon King weaves his animal stories amongst encounters with extraordinary people, and astonishing places to give us a memoir that will delight readers.

His book is packed with wild encounters Independent This is a heart-warming, engagingly honest read Scotsman Each year, I read scores of applications from university zoological courses, describing what motivates the students to want to the study the subject. I'm willing to bet that, next year, WILD LIFE will crop up on their lists of inspirational reading. BBC Wildlife Magazine Fascinating...Simon's passion is infectious, as anyone who's watched his programmes knows, and his enthusiasm pours from every word in his new book Beautiful Britain Whether in front of the camera explaining the mysteries of the natural world ... or behind it as a skilled operator, King is one of the most engaging of natural history presenters and the prose in his autobiography, Wild Life, is every bit as addictive. Scotsman
