"A stunning and moving account of a life that shaped one of the most authentic voices for nature"—Liz Bonnin"The qualities that make Gordon Buchanan a great wildlife filmmaker are those that make this a terrific book - a love of storytelling, genuine expertise in his chosen field, relentless curiosity and above all a deep humanity that comes from knowledge of pain as well as of joy. The book combines all of the above, his extraordinary wildlife encounters are the fascinating backdrop to a searingly honest account of his personal struggles.”—Alastair Campbell“Gordon is a natural storyteller, with a unique passion for his subject and compelling backstory. He has not only lived his passion, but by studying nature through the lens has become an expert in the field, instinctively knowing what an animal will do - a skill the rest of us would kill for."—Steve Backshall"A truly remarkable story told by a brilliant man."—Sara Cox“Gordon is a genuine force for good in this beautiful, flawed world of ours. The time I spent with him in the Hebrides was truly life changing, and has given me a far greater appreciation of the beauty, majesty and simplicity of the world we live in. This is a glorious love letter to that world.”—Dermot O'Leary“An inspiring read from one of the very best storytellers of our time. A story that details the journey from adversity to resilience and flourishing through the lens of the natural world.”—Aldo Kane
