So even in that case I’m not as involved.īut hopefully I can still exert some sort of influence on some of these, and it’s a case of trusting your babies to people you hope will raise them right and not abuse them. … I visited the set once or twice a year in the early years but I haven’t done that in a number of years, I’m trying to get the books done.

It has been published in 14 other countries. The Last Wild won the Guardian Children’s Fiction Prize and was shortlisted for the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize. His interest in wildlife may come from growing up in Northumberland where he says “more animals live than people.” The Last Wild grew out of Piers Torday’s love for animals and animal stories, and his concern about species disappearing from the wild.

The only problem with the projection that I have attended was the quality of the actual film, I don't know if it was intended (maybe) or not but a lot of exterior scenes had a yellowish halo to it like if the director would have put a yellow filter over the camera lense and also the quality of the film with some badly made cut overs was questionnable.
