About the Author

David Attenborough was born at Isleworth, Middlesex, in 1926. In 1932 the family moved to Leicester when his father was appointed Principal of the University College, and he was educated at Wyggeston Grammar School and later won a scholarship to Clare College, Cambridge, where he read zoology, geology and mineralogy, and took an Honours Degree in Natural Sciences. In 1952 he joined the B.B.C. and among the programmes he has produced on television are Animals, Vegetable, Mineral?, Song Hunter, Animal Patterns, It's a Small World, Where on Earth?, Books and Authors, and Travellers' Tales. He accompanied the first B.B.C. -London Zoo animal collecting expedition to Sierra Leone in 1954, and afterwards produced and introduced the highly popular programme in the Zoo Quest series, which, incidentally, established him as a leading television personality. The great success of this series led to the expedition to British Guiana which he describes in this book. David Attenborough (who is the younger brother of Richard Attenborough, the actor) is married, has two children and lives in Richmond. His main interests are music, books and natural history.
