Cold Blood: Adventures with Reptiles and Amphibians by Richard Kerridge

 Richard Kerridge writes about his boyhood and his adventures collecting toads, frogs, slowworms, lizards and snakes. He intertwines his childhood adventures with his relationship to his father and scientific facts.

Inspiring for those of us who can't afford to go off and see wildlife round the world -because there are some amazing fellows here in the UK.
I loved his writing on our relationships with nature, eco-criticism, anthropomorphism etc.
