Synopsis
The writer and broadcaster Kenneth Allsop was one of Britains first television celebrities, but while he enjoyed the high life of fast cars and smart parties, he was also an accomplished naturalist and passionate conservationist. Drawing on his unpublished diaries and papers, this biography charts his last years, his struggles with constant pain after a form of tuberculosis, and his despair at the environmental challenges facing the world.

Review
'Well-researched and likeable paperback ... Reality is resurrected with extracts from Allsop's diary (which confirm the verdict of his Dorset neighbour John Fowles that he 'combined the poet's eye with the journalist's pen) and his heart-brekaing suicide note to his wife written at the end of May 1973.' --The Oldie
