WEST WITH THE LIGHT is the heart-warming story of how one of Britain’s most distinguished travel writers survived the Blitz and two years as an evacuee during WW2 to become a champion of ecotourism.
From the grizzly bear strongholds of Arctic Yukon to the whale-rich waters of Baja California, Brian Jackman has been writing about wildlife and wild places since the 1970s. Although best known as an expert on African wildlife safaris his roots remain deep in his beloved West Dorset, where he has lived for the past 50 years.
Evocative, personal and authoritative, with terrific pace and narrative flow – everything a reader could ask for. Jackman at his very finest. ––Richard Girling, author and environmental journalist
