My Animals and Other Family by Clare Balding

CLARE BALDING is a multi-award-winning journalist and broadcaster. She was dubbed a national treasure and hailed as the gold medal-winning presenter of the 2012 London Olympics. She began her career as the face of the BBC's horse racing coverage in 1998, and now works in a variety of sports for television and radio. She has hosted the Olympics, Paralympics, Winter Olympics, and Commonwealth Games on television. She has been hiking across the British countryside for the BBC radio series Ramblings for over a decade.

'Why Can't Everyone Be Clare Balding?' read the headline of a British newspaper. They haven't expressed much interest in any of the accolades, which is great.
