The world is more astonishing, more miraculous and more wonderful than our wildest imaginings. In this passionately persuasive and sharply funny book, Katherine Rundell tells us how and why.

A swift flies two million kilometres in its lifetime. That's far enough to get to the moon and back twice over - and then once more to the moon. A pangolin keeps its tongue furled in a pouch by its hip, a Greenland shark can live five hundred years, a wombat once inspired a love poem.

Great comfort read, I’m a huge fan of animals and this was just fascinating, with such interesting facts about the creatures in this book! Loved it!

Lovely book

I liked how these incredible animals were brought life, with descriptions of their unique and impressive features. Sadly many are endangered and we risk losing them. Hopefully meaningful steps will be taken to protect them.

Thought Provoking

Having read the article in the FT about the author I was keen to listen to the book ASAP.

It’s a great listen - a celebration of some remarkable creatures on a remarkable planet. The tone is very personal too which makes it particularly engaging.

I loved all the literary snippets (Moby Dick, Ovid, Ted Hughes…) as well as the mythical links.
It reminded me of the Radio 4 The Unbelievable Truth - but this is all true. It would make a great TV series.

It’s aimed at adults but I’m a teacher and will start budgeting (and pleading) to buy 140 copies of the paperback for my year 9 (age 14) students.
Thank you Katherine (and Lennie Henry) for a great listen.

Original, engaging, informative, humorous, passionate.

A beautifully curated and narrated rundown of some of the world's most intriguing creatures.
wonderfully formatted and easy-to-follow heartbreaking in places in lightning in others a terrific journey. I have just this minute finished it and I'm about to start it over I feel this will be a book that keeps on giving with each listen.
thank you katherine for your efforts compiling this.
