Wilder Journeys

Internationally bestselling author Miriam Lancewood and environmental writer Laurie King present a collection of narrative non-fiction stories and poems on the human connection with nature.

Never before have so many people with such incredible life experiences within nature committed to a single book.

In response to a growing public expression of eco-anxiety, Miriam Lancewood and Laurie King have gathered together an extraordinary set of adventurers, nomads and nature lovers who have had profound experiences in nature. In Wilder Journeys, you will walk across the desert with British explorer Angela Maxwell; survive for 10 years in an Australian forest with Gregory Smith; lie underneath the stars with Roz Savage on the Ocean; hunt in the wilderness with Miriam Lancewood in New Zealand; and set up a surf school for people of colour in California with David Manala. Original illustrations and poems throughout bring these inspiring stories alive.

By following these wild journeys, you will see how anyone can change their lives and their relationship with nature in a moment, offering hope for a future free of climate crisis.
