A fascinating and entertaining collection of facts, quotes and stories, celebrating Sir David Attenborough's wicked sense of humor 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 humor. 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!
