About this title
His autobiography, Jolly Green Giant, proves to be every bit as entertaining as anything he's written: it's a fund of hilarious stories (often refreshingly self-deprecating), along with a nicely wrought picture of his childhood growing up in Carshalton during the Second World War. Most of all, though, it's an evocation of the author's love of nature, communicated here with vividness and detail.
His skills have translated into books with considerable ease and such bestsellers as Blooming Bellamy, Botanic Man and Wilderness Britain have been shot through with all the qualities that distinguish his broadcasting, along with a quietly impressive marshalling of the myriad facts that make his work so authoritative.
Although one's heart drops at the subtitle to this book The Autobiography of David J Bellamy OBE, Hon FLS, An Englishman, any thoughts that this might be a breast-beating list of his accomplishments, or (worse) a burst of Little Englander jingoism, are quickly dispelled. Bellamy tells us of his very public battles with big corporations over the environment and the outspokenness that has so often got him into trouble, with only the barest hint of self-aggrandisement. But his epic struggles and odysseys, brilliantly communicated love of nature and the many fascinating portraits of the idiosyncratic and eccentric personalities he's encountered over the years make for a quite fascinating read. --Barry Forshaw
