Going Wild’s books

The Going Wild books aim to inspire you to go outdoors and have fun getting immersed in wild places, whether out in the countryside, in the park or in the back garden.  Each book has a slightly different emphasis; there should be something that appeals to everyone, ranging from; wildlife, bushcraft, imaginary games and adventure activities to wild art, poetry, theatre/storytelling, foraging and cooking, and being creative on a wild scale.

All Going Wild‘s activities and adventures are inspired by nature and easy to do.  They involve minimum planning and there’s no need to go out and buy a whole load of stuff. Most activities use loose natural materials available and abundant in wild places (nature is conveniently free).  Going Wild believes in inspiring families and children everywhere to get outside and have fun.

The Going Wild books are published worldwide and have been translated into many languages including German, French, Italian, Dutch, Spanish, Slovenian, Polish, Swedish, Norwegian and Korean. 

We believe that everyone should have opportunities to seek out wilderness whether on their doorsteps or further afield.  And why not go out regularly in all weathers, all seasons, in the dark after school?  Even if you are surrounded by buildings there is a wild world to discover out there…..

All you have to do is go out and find it!
