"This enchanting book could not be more timely: it brings much to inspire our future thinking, and is a joy to read." -- Joanna Lumley "Vibrant and vital. The trials of ten treasured species that we can''t afford to fail. A biological romp with a real mission." --Chris Packham, broadcaster and author of Fingers in the Sparkle Jar "This engaging romp in search of our most endangered species is a timely reminder of the magic we have in nature and what we are set to lose if we don''t wake up. Funny, full of interest and often poignant, travelling with Sophie Pavelle is a journey to remember." -- Isabella Tree, author of Wilding "A fierce, passionate stand for the wild." -- Megan McCubbin, zoologist, conservationist and broadcaster " Forget Me Not sings and rings with a distinctive combination of passion, humour and energy; Sophie Pavelle''s low-carbon journey round the overlooked, undersung species of our island group makes a heartfelt plea for the need to conserve, restore and replenish the wildlife we have left.
" --Robert Macfarlane, author of Underland "If the canon of British nature writing has a reputation for being male and overly earnest, then Sophie Pavelle''s Forget Me Not is a one-book rebalancing act." --India Bourke, New Statesman "This is such a beautiful book. Full of humour, adventure, poignancy. It will make you value the country around you and even hungrier to protect it. Remarkable." --Nell Frizzell, journalist and author of The Panic Years " Forget Me Not is a tonic. Pavelle''s writing is a delight, full of extended sartorial or food-related metaphors, puns and cheeky humour." --Rebecca Foster, Times Literary Supplement "The prose is as lyrical as it is sassy, as insightful as it is impassioned.
" --Amy-Jane Beer, Guardian Book of the Day "A clarion call for us all to do something to make a difference." --Ceri Levy, Caught by the River "Urgent and challenging, but also fun and beautifully written, Sophie documents her low-carbon journeys exposing the reality of climate change in Britain." --Simon Reeve, broadcast journalist, adventurer and author of Step by Step "Beautiful. Rare. Profound. Hopeful." --Charlotte Philby, author of A Double Life "Finding wonder in the familiar and celebrating the unknown in the everyday, this is a beautiful book - and so perfectly told." --Professor Ben Garrod, author, broadcaster, biologist "Sophie Pavelle writes with the urgency and voice of a generation.
Her commitment is matched with a fierce knowledge of conservation biology and policymaking, whose murky corridors are expertly navigated. Passionate, pragmatic and seriously funny." --Gillian Burke, biologist, presenter and writer "From rare butterflies to bats and bumblebees, Sophie takes us on a breathless but strangely relaxing whistle-stop tour of Britain in search of some of our less familiar, fragile and fascinating wildlife. Charming, witty and moving." --Professor Dave Goulson, Professor of Biology and author of A Sting in the Tale "Pavelle is the best kind of science writer - who makes you feel almost as smart as she is, priming and signposting in such a way that you grasp the punchline in the moment before she delivers it. Make no mistake, this is serious stuff, requiring serious communication. But she balances love and irreverence, data and ditz. I loved the breezy humour, the sass and savviness.
" --Dr Amy-Jane Beer, naturalist, writer, campaigner and Guardian Country Diarist "A wonderfully refreshing look at the vanishing species around us, what they mean and why they matter." --Benedict Macdonald, naturalist, wildlife TV producer and author of Rebirding " Forget Me Not is that enchanting book that makes you want to put on your hiking boots and big coat, get outdoors and immerse yourself in nature. Sophie''s writing is funny and accessible whilst being a call to arms for us to protect Britain''s most vulnerable species. Perfect for old hats and newbies to wildlife. Highly recommended." --Dr Amir Khan, NHS doctor, broadcaster, author and Vice President of The Wildlife Trusts "Sophie has a warm tone of voice in this enjoyable and accessible read." -- BBC Wildlife magazine "Pavelle has a lively mind and sense of humour . [sheto conserve, restore and replenish the wildlife we have left.
