Bear Grylls -- 'Packed FULL of adventures' The Guardian -- 'A
clarion call to the child explorer [...] a spectacular immersion in
the life of the wild.' Daily Express -- 'Exquisitely illustrated
[...] children will treasure it for years to come.' A facsimile
edition of the tattered notebooks of the Unknown Adventurer, this
love letter to the wild details everything you need to know about
how to live and thrive in nature, from the principles of treehouse
building to wilderness first aid. If you are reading this, it means
my notebooks have been found. I am leaving them here at camp for
safekeeping along with a few other belongings that I won't be
taking with me. The notebooks are a lifetime's worth of knowledge,
which I'm passing on the you. So reads an excerpt from the
weatherworn letter discovered by nature enthusiast Teddy Keen on a
recent trip to the Amazon, along with sketchbooks filled with
details of extraordinary adventures and escapades, expedition
advice and survival methods, annotated with captivating
coloured-pencil drawings. It is thought that the sketchbooks were
created for two young relatives of the author. Drawing on Teddy's
knowledge of the outdoors, the pages of the sketchbooks have been
carefully transcribed for young readers, as they were originally
intended. You'll be transported by riveting adventure tales from
around the globe, like being dragged off by a hyena in Botswana,
surviving a Saharan dust storm, being woken by an intrepid emperor
penguin in Antarctica and coming face-to-face with a venomous
bushmaster (one of the most dangerous snakes on the planet) - all
told in lyrical prose and illustrations that wonder at the
mysterious beauty of the wild. Having inspired the adventurous
spirit in you, the Unknown Adventurer encourages you to set out on
your own adventure with information on wild camping, rafting,
exploration, and shelters and dens, plus tips on first aid and
tying knots. Expert instructions on wilderness basics, like
building a fire, what to do if you get lost, and how to build
various types of shelters are accompanied by more specific skills
culled from many years of experience, like baking campfire bread,
creating a toothbrush from a twig, making a suture from soldier
ants and even how to pan for gold. Find your way back to your
primal self with the immersive text and glorious colour artwork of
this one-of-a-kind adventure book. REMEMBER: be good, be
adventurous... and look after your parents.
