Thai Garden Wild

Thai Garden Wild explores the wonderfully diverse wildlife of a garden in the Thai countryside. A place where cobras still slither and eagles still soar. It follows local sagas in a rich and thriving natural world using the garden as a private window into the wild lives co-existing with people in a paddy-field landscape. Each of the 21 chapters begins with a unique artwork in the ‘urban decay’ style of the author (see cover for example). From searching for pit vipers’ daytime haunts to following the development of cuckoo chicks and getting to know fruit bats, the book is a celebration of living with wildlife. It is also an encouragement for us all to view the wildlife around us with an inquisitive mind.
