Biography & Autobiography

I felt like I'd climbed through a hole in heaven's fence. An introverted, unusual young boy, isolated by his obsessions and a loner at school, Chris Packham only felt at ease in the fields and woods around his suburban home.

But pervading his story is the search for freedom, meaning and acceptance...
