　　Tony Fitzjohn, part missionary, part madman, has been called

“one of the world’s most endangered creatures.” An internationally

renowned field expert on African wildlife, he is best known for the

eighteen years he spent helping Born Free’s George Adamson return

more than forty leopards and lions—including the celebrated

Christian—to the wild in central Kenya.

Born Wild is the memoir of Fitzjohn’s extraordinary life. It

shows how a man driven by an impossibly restless spirit can do

almost anything, from being a bouncer in a brothel, to surviving a

vicious lion attack, to fighting with the Tanzanian government, to

being appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire by

the Queen.

A notorious hell-raiser given to scrapes with bandits, evil

policemen, and wicked politicians, who has been shot at by poachers

and chewed up by lions, Fitzjohn is also a wonderful raconteur.

Shenanigans aside, he belongs to that rare species of humans who

have sought refuge and meaning in a life truly dedicated to the

restoration of the animal kingdom. Many times Tony Fitzjohn has put

his life on the line for the cause in which he believes. Born Wild

is the story of that passion.

媒体评论

　　“A vivid and colorful portrayal of a maverick who has lived

life to the full and continues to do so as he tackles the

challenges of conserving wild places and wild things in East

Africa. A wonderful addition to any conservationist’s

library.”--Dr. Richard Leakey

　　“Fitzjohn worked with George Adamson for 17 years at his lion

preserve in Kenya (made famous from the 1966 film Born Free) and

recounts his unplotted, delightfully quirky, and frequently

perilous journey from rogue Englishman to African wildlife

conservationist… This is a wonderfully engrossing narrative of

Fitzjohn's tireless, lifelong work establishing trust with both the

wild animals and prickly governments.” --Publishers Weekly, "Pick

of the Week"
