David Attenborough revisits expeditions to Madagascar, New Guinea and Australia's Northern Territory in this collection of abridged accounts from his early travel books. Encounters with wildlife sit alongside observations of the people, customs and landscapes he found while making the Zoo Quest journeys. The narrative conveys the practical difficulties, surprises and curiosity of field travel in an earlier era of natural-history broadcasting. Photographs support the account and bring particular moments into focus. Combining material from Zoo Quest to Madagascar, Quest in Paradise and Quest under Capricorn, Journeys to the Past offers a view of Attenborough's early work and the experiences that helped shape his approach to exploring the natural world.
