Éamon de Buitléar - A Life In The Wild

Signed/Autographed copy by the late Naturalist.

Fabulous hand writing.

In writing his memoirs, Eamon de Buitlear caught quite brilliantly the mood of a half-century of Irish life during which Irish life itself was transformed. His work brought him to mingle with poachers and politicians, common folk and celebrities for more than fifty years. His acute observations and hilarious anecdotes carry his story along and explain how this essentially modest man achieved so much and was so widely admired. A childhood spent beside the River Dargle in Wicklow introduced the young Eamon to the mysteries of wild life. His recollection of those idyllic days leads to an early introduction to traditional music. Nature and music were to inspire the rest of his life. His passion for nature was eventually to lead to an outstanding career as filmmaker. The television series Amuigh Faoin Speir has been acknowledged as the most successful bi-lingual programme ever shown on Irish television.
