Simon King - Shetland Diaries

Simon King - Shetland Diaries


Long before he set foot on the islands, Simon fell in love with Shetland. The romantic mix of a northerly wilderness that is home to otters, vast seabird colonies and the chance encounter of a killer whale was enough to compel him to spend a year getting to know the place that fuelled his boyhood dreams.

With his wife and their young daughter, Simon visited Britain's most northerly Isles through a year to follow its wildlife and discover if the reality of life in this wilderness would live up to his dreams.

Wild Life by Simon King - Hard Back

Wild Life by Simon King - Hard Back

Simon's career as a cameraman, producer and presenter of natural history films has taken him around the planet many times and led to the revelation of sights and natural events never recorded before. It has also brought him face to face with mortal dangers and comic encounters, both with animals and people.

Charged by enraged elephants, tossed by mountainous seas in the South Atlantic and attacked by a rabid cheetah, Simon has had many close shaves during the course of his career. But whether confronting lions armed only with a shovel and a dodgy stomach or helping to liberate an angry hyena from a deep pit, humour peppers his often hair-raising experiences.

What started as a boyhood obsession, boiling badger heads to preserve the skulls and pinning dead birds' wings to his bedroom wall, has taken Simon to every continent on earth and made him one of the nation's most beloved presenters of natural history. He writes with humour, candour and sometimes great sadness of his rich and varied life experiences to date.
