Author Biography

JOHN CRAVEN was born in Leeds, West Yorkshire and started his journalistic career as a junior reporter on the Harrogate Advertiser before becoming one of the stars of BBC children’s television. In 1989, he made the move away from children’s TV and began to present Countryfile, tackling rural and farming stories from foot-and-mouth disease to the ban on fox hunting. Still reporting from the countryside after 50 years in television, John has been awarded an OBE for services to rural and children’s broadcasting. He is also the bestselling author of Countryfile: A Picture of Britain. FERGUS COLLINS is a writer and editor who grew up in rural Somerset. Since 2004 he has combined his passion for the natural world with working first for BBC Wildlife Magazine and then, from 2009–2023, as editor of BBC Countryfile Magazine. This latter role in particular has given Fergus a rare insight into the workings of the modern British countryside.
