Life Stories
ATTENBOROUGH, David
Life Stories
London: Harper Collins Publishers Ltd., 2009
4to., publisher’s green boards, lettered in gilt to spine; in the original unclipped dust jacket (£20), with a photograph of the author holding a frog to the upper panel and W H Smith ‘signed edition’ sticker; pp [ix], 10-224; pale green endpapers; a proliferation of illustrations and full-colour photographs; a little pushing to spine ends; perhaps one or two almost invisible splash marks to upper edge; else fine.
First edition, signed by the author in his customary blue ink to the title page.
The complete first five months of Attenborough’s radio talks of the same name, in which he looks at the wildlife which has captured his imagination over his extensive career. The text is accompanied by his personal selection of photographs.
‘What would you like to be,’
people sometimes ask,
‘if you came back to earth
as an animal?’
The answer I give depends,
I suppose, on the company.
