Early wildlife adventures from a legendary naturalist.
Fair Condition – Noticeable foxing on the opening pages, age-toned page edges, and light cover wear. Binding remains firm with a good overall appearance.
David Attenborough looks back on the expeditions that launched his career in natural-history broadcasting. In the 1950s, he travelled with the BBC’s Zoo Quest team to remote regions in search of remarkable animals for London Zoo and a new kind of television programme. His accounts combine close encounters with wildlife, demanding journeys, unexpected setbacks and the practical challenges of filming far from home. Told with curiosity, humour and vivid observation, these stories reveal the origins of Attenborough’s lifelong work and the adventurous spirit behind some of television’s earliest wildlife expeditions.
