My passion for wildlife
began early

I used to smuggle roadkill into the house despite my mother's preference for flowers.

    How to Shit Around the World

    Bought a new copy as part of a gift basket for retirees planning travels, after reading a used copy. Cute and useful book. Information is delivered in easy to read bits. Glad I found this little gem.

    Lemurs of the Lost World

    “this book fleshes out the ups and downs of the expedition… it is useful, lively background reading for anyone contemplating an expedition anywhere.”

    Snowfed Waters

    ... beautifully narrated tale, interspersed with want and waste; horror and humour. Even the grimmest of situations may wrest a smile from the reader, and that is the beauty of Jane Wilson-Howarth’s craft.... A tale of courage and compassion; unlearning the past and embracing the future is magnificently woven that keeps you hooked throughout!
