Excellent- More about The Horizontal Oak: A Life in Nature
Polly Pullars' childhood was marred by family secrets and tragedy, but her love of animals and nature helped her rebuild her life and find strength to forgive and understand her parents.
Format: Hardback
Length: 240 pages
Publication date: 21 July 2022
Publisher: Birlinn General
Ever since her pet sheep Lulu accompanied her to school at the age of seven, animals and nature have been at the heart of Polly Pullar's world. Growing up in a remote corner of the Scottish West Highlands, she roamed freely through the spectacular countryside and met her first otters, seals, eagles, and wildcats.
But an otherwise idyllic childhood was marred by family secrets that ultimately turned to tragedy. Following the suicide of her alcoholic father and the deterioration of her relationship with her mother, as well as the break-up of her own marriage, Polly rebuilt her life, earning a reputation as a wildlife expert and rehabilitator, journalist, and photographer.
This is her extraordinary, inspirational story. Written with compassion, humor, and optimism, Polly reflects on how her love of the natural world has helped her find the strength to forgive and understand her parents, and to find an equilibrium.
