Chris Packham (2016 Event)

As the presenter of BBC's Springwatch, Chris Packham has become
one of the nation’s favourite naturalists. But Packham was far
from popular as a child: in his brave and lyrical
memoir, Fingers in the Sparkle Jar, he recalls life as a
solitary child, comfortable only with a menagerie of insects.
Then, in an act that would change his life, he took a young
kestrel from its nest… In this event, he shares stories from his
life with Ruth Wishart. Recorded live at the 2016 Edinburgh
International Book Festival.
