Adventures of a Young Naturalist — the voyages that began a lifetime of wonder

In 1954, a young television presenter named David Attenborough accepted an extraordinary assignment: travel the globe to locate rare animals for London Zoo and film the expeditions for the BBC. Adventures of a Young Naturalist reads like a true travelogue — staying with local tribes, tracking Komodo dragons in Indonesia, hunting for giant anteaters in Guyana, and encountering armadillos in Paraguay. The team battled unpredictable weather, treacherous terrain and curious wildlife (including cannibal fish and escape-artist wild pigs), yet their respect for the animals and ecosystems shines through. While the field methods reflect their time, the book’s passion for biodiversity and conservation remains timeless.

Journeys to the Other Side of the World — cultures and creatures rarely seen by British audiences

From Madagascar and New Guinea to the Pacific Islands and Australia’s Northern Territory, Journeys to the Other Side of the World pairs natural history with human stories. Attenborough and his cameraman document rites, songs and traditions — the land divers of Pentecost Island, New Guinea sing-sings, a Royal Kava ceremony in Tonga — alongside remarkable species like birds of paradise, chameleons and sifakas. This volume captures landscapes and ways of life that were unfamiliar to most readers at the time, offering both cultural insight and unforgettable wildlife encounters.

• Two classic paperback editions in one value set — ideal as a boxed set or book collection for nature lovers.
• Trusted author: From Sir David Attenborough, a world-renowned naturalist and broadcaster whose documentaries (Life on Earth, Planet Earth, The Blue Planet) have shaped public understanding of the natural world.
• Educational & entertaining: Great for classroom use, early learning, or family reading time.
• Conservation-focused: Inspires appreciation for biodiversity and the importance of protecting wild places.

This two-book collection is more than a read — it’s a journey back to the roots of modern natural history storytelling. Whether you’re buying for a teacher, gifting a young explorer, or adding to your own shelf of nature writing, this set is a timeless keepsake that informs, entertains and inspires a lifelong love of the natural world.
