Naturalist Chris Packham reveals the life events which would eventually shape him - from tadpoles to bullies.

Chris Packham continues to remember his difficult childhood, discovers the taste of tadpoles and encounters some bullies.

Chris is a naturalist, nature photographer and author, best known for his BBC TV work. But in this lyrical and emotionally honest memoir, he reveals the life-events which would eventually shape and change him forever.

Chris brings to life his childhood in the 1970s, moving back and forth through time, to capture recent, more exposing recollections from adulthood.

Read by Chris Packham and Rachel Atkins.
