Start 2024 with a call to adventure. Follow the call of the wild with these incredible true stories from an international group of nature lovers, nomads and adventurers.

In these pages, you are invited to share the wisdom they gained on their wild journeys. You will walk across the Australian desert with American explorer Angela Maxwell; live with Hamza Yassin and a family of eagles in Scotland; survive for 10 years in an Australian forest with Gregory Smith; hunt in the wilderness with Miriam Lancewood in New Zealand; chart Karl Bushby’s passage through the formidable Darien Gap; and set up a surf school for people of colour in California with David Malana.

With beautiful illustrations, a foreword from explorer Belinda Kirk and contributions from leading poets, including David Whyte and Fatimah Asghar, this book will inspire you to get out of your comfort zone and connect to your wild, animal soul.

We will be joined by editor Laurie King and poet Chloe Dyson to discuss the book with Stan Townsend, a nature connection facilitator and campaigner. Join us for an inspiring evening of conversation. Tickets cost £6, which includes a glass of wine or soft drink and £2 off the book.
