Gavin Maxwell by Douglas Botting

Gavin Maxwell by Douglas Botting

The life of Gavin Maxwell - author of "Ring of Bright Water" - combines high adventure, encounters with wildlife, passionately descriptive writing and a deeply troubled personality. Homosexual, but briefly married and a longstanding friend of the poet Kathleen Raine, eccentric and solitary, he found the call of the wild irresistable. It was Wilfrid Thesiger who gave Maxwell the otter Mij which set him on his new life's course, and it was the otters at Camusfearna which were to make Maxwell's name famous.

Douglas Botting’s biography of Gavin Maxwell was hugely praised. His previous books reflect his interest in travel, exploration and wild places. He was an exploration film-maker for the BBC’s ‘World About Us’ and became a full-time writer with the publication of his highly praised biography of the German explorer-naturalist Alexander von Humboldt, ‘Humboldt and the Cosmos’.
