In the Hide (how nature saved Gordon’s life)

In the Hide is the autobiography of popular TV wildlife presenter Gordon Buchanan. The title refers to how as a child, he would long to be invisible, so that he could simply be ‘in the hide’ to be with the world’s most elusive creatures, rather than spend time with humans.

A lot of us know how he feels!

Born in Scotland, on an estate built on land claimed from fields, he grew up on the edge of wild countryside, that he longed to walk as his own sanctuary.

Today, Gordon lives close to polar bears in Svalbard, snow wolf packs in Ellesmere, leopards in Mumbai and wild horses in Mongolia, having filmed wildlife in the world’s most remote places.
