Bryan Wigmore

Bryan Wigmore grew up in Bognor Regis, one of those towns that exist so young people can move away from them. This he managed to do, a spectacular distance of six miles. He now lives with a menagerie of animals made of wool, bronze, pottery and paint, and gets out into the countryside as often as possible to see real ones. His favourite places combine natural beauty with ancient history, such as the grave barrows on the Sussex Downs, and much of his writing is an exploration of ways we perceive our place in the natural world.
