Ray Mears to Release Autobiography in 2013

Ray Mears fans unite! The British publishers Hodder & Stoughton have confirmed that the much-anticipated Ray Mears autobiography will be released later this year. Provisionally titled ‘An Outdoor Life‘, the book is scheduled for release in September 2013, coinciding with Ray’s nationwide lecture tour.

I’ve been asked to write my autobiography many times, but it hasn’t felt right until now. I’ll be 50 this year, and it’s 30 years since I started Woodlore, the organisation that has helped thousands of people to a greater understanding of the world around us. – Ray Mears

 

Hodder & Stoughton commented:

We’re delighted that he’s chosen Hodder to publish his memoir, a story that will enthral his millions of admirers – and surprise a few people too.

    Hi Martin. There’s no confirmed release date as of yet I’m afraid, but fingers crossed the book will be ready to coincide with the tour.

    Two things. Audio version I hope, and read by the man himself ????
    Also any chance it will be ready for his impending tour and he can do signed copies ????
    Been to two lectures and loved both and on two Woodlore courses and desperate to do more. However at no point have I had chance to shake his hand, say thanks, and get him to sign a book :)
    He did let me across the road in Llandudno :)

    I can’t wait to buy and read that book. I hope all is well with Ray, and I wonder if he’ll ever be touring the USA? It’d be nice to learn more from him.

    That is great news. Just imagine writing your autobiography and still being 49. There is still a life ahead for episode 2.
