I’ve been asked to write my autobiography many times, but it hasn’t felt right until now. I’ll be 50 this year, and it’s 30 years since I started Woodlore, the organisation that has helped thousands of people to a greater understanding of the world around us. - Ray Mears
  Hodder & Stoughton commented:
We’re delighted that he’s chosen Hodder to publish his memoir, a story that will enthral his millions of admirers – and surprise a few people too.

I am really looking forward to this autobiography, I grew up In Alberta ,Canada and watching Ray during his visits to the wilderness , his enthusiasm and empathy for the natural world takes me back to the years hiking in the Rockies, Can’t wait to read it!

Funny was never really interested in book signing stuff! But Ray Mears books are the only books I manage to read from start to finish!

They are captivating and educational!
