Hugh David Loxdale

Professor Hugh David Loxdale, MBE, was born in Horley, Surrey, England, but grew up in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, where, outside school, he spent much of his spare time roaming the countryside and observing wildlife. Besides an interest in science, especially biology, he was also interested in history and English literature. He started writing poetry in his late teens, although eventually decided to embark on a career in entomology rather than literature. To date, he has written ten books of poetry, including one for children…. Zoooo.
