DIARY OF A YOUNG NATURALIST
Winner of the 2020 Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing, longlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize, and with 17 translation sales concluded, this is a timeless gem of a book by a very young talent.
by Dara McAnulty
Description
Diary of a Young Naturalist chronicles the turning of 15-year-old Dara McAnulty’s world. From spring and through a year in his home patch in Northern Ireland, Dara spent the seasons writing. These vivid, evocative and moving diary entries about his connection to wildlife and the way he sees the world are raw in their telling. Diary of a Young Naturalist portrays Dara’s intense connection to the natural world, and his perspective as a teenager juggling exams and friendships alongside a life of campaigning.

Babel-Bridge Literary Agency
Babel-Bridge specialises in translation rights representation world-wide on behalf of publishing houses and agencies. At Babel-Bridge, every single book is carefully selected for its potential ability to travel, be it for its universal theme, its commercial hook or stunning artwork, or indeed all three. Babel-Bridge represents mainly books from the Nordics and the UK, but we wish to grow the portfolio to include beautiful books that tick the aforementioned boxes from other corners of the world. To that end, Babel-Bridge will rely on close collaboration with subagents, who are strongly placed to identify the books that are most likely to travel, but where the rights holder lacks the network abroad.
