Richard ffrench-Constant

Professor Richard ffrench-Constant, FRS was born in Nairobi, Kenya whilst his father was posted there as a doctor with the RAF. Although he is now a professional molecular entomologist at the University of Exeter, his first love has always been the animals of Kenya. He is now leading field courses to Kenya and regularly visits Amboseli National Park, the setting of his book for children about climate change and conservation, The Elephant and the Mountain. By telling the angling story of young Harry in his second book, The Boy and the Trout, he hopes to encourage all children, including his own, to go outdoors and discover the natural world.
