An unforgettable journey through the hidden wildernesses of home with two brilliant nature writers.

Join us at First Draft Books for a very special conversation with acclaimed nature writer & conservation biologist Neha Sinha (My Wild City (https://uk.bookshop.org/a/12105/9781645024866)) and science communicator Sophie Pavelle (To Have or To Hold (https://uk.bookshop.org/a/12105/9781399412179) & Forget Me Not (https://uk.bookshop.org/a/12105/9781472986238)).

We will journey through the hidden wildernesses of home - from the bustling metropolis of Delhi to the quieter streets of Exeter & Dartmoor, where we find wild creatures, ecological histories and a deep sense of meaning that binds us to the places we call our own. This is a deeply personal yet universal conversation, which reveals how we can find our way in the world through the exploration of natural places.

Following the talk, Neha & Sophie will answer your questions and sign copies of their brilliant books. Reserve your book(s) through this registration form. This is a free but ticketed event.

‘A bold and glorious book about humans, cities and the wild lives of the beings—from fireflies to rivers—with whom we share the habitats we have built. It is brilliantly crafted at the level of the sentence and image, adventurous in its forms and tones, and its themes—memory, love, loss, care, value—are as embracing and urgent as they come. It’s magnificent.’ Robert Macfarlane, author of Is a River Alive?
