A fascinating and entertaining collection of facts, quotes and
stories, celebrating Sir David Attenborough's wicked sense of
humour and astute wisdom. David Attenborough is a national
treasure, known for his soothing voice, calming presence, passion
for the natural world, and his humble, easy-going nature. Despite
his incredible talent and influence, he tends to play it all down,
one time stating that, 'I can't believe I'm still employed'. So if
he won't celebrate himself, we'll have to do it for him. Filled
with facts, tributes and anecdotes, as well as beautiful
illustrations, this enormously positive book celebrates Sir David,
providing a fascinating insight into his life as well as showcasing
his brilliant sense of humour. Running chronologically, this book
begins with his early days, to his first job at the BBC, to
eventually becoming the most esteemed naturalist on the planet, as
he is today. Such revelations include: - There are 18 plants and
animals named after him - When asked by a reporter how many degrees
he had, he said it would be 'rude to count'* - The single thing
that would improve his quality of life is 'good, workable knees'.
Blending his quips galore with his powerful messages on the
environment and future of the planet, this timely book showcases
everything we love about Sir David, making it the perfect gift for
any fan. * He has over thirty!
