Peter Scott by Elspeth Huxley

Son of the Antarctic explorer Captain Scott, Peter Scott fulfilled his father's dying wish that he should become "a strenuous man". A championship-class skater and dinghy-racer as well as an accomplished painter, Scott's abiding passion was for wildlife. He travelled the world hunting and painting rare birds, then gave up shooting to found the Wildfowl Trust and later co-founded the World Wildlife Fund. Behind Scott's charm lay a complex character, driven by his father's legend and by an unconventional and dominating mother. This is his biography.
