Hi, I'm Tiger. I've written a book for young people so that they can enjoy exploring outdoors as much as I did growing up.

We live in a changing world, where wilderness skills are more often the subject of books about our ancestors, rather than practical guides. Well, I guess I went against the grain and wrote a practical guide for exploring in the modern world. As a child growing up in a heavily populated part of Southern England, I know that it takes a little encouragement to not let your wild side be replaced by a screen. My first book, 'How to be an explorer', is a step by step collection of the activities I most enjoyed growing up. Such as making kites, building rafts and dens. Then for added motivation I've written down and had illustrated my six favourite tales of daring exploration.

The divide between the spectators (those who watch) and the participators (those who do) is widening everyday, let's make sure future generations have a balance of both.
