This is the story behind the award-winning wildlife documentary "My Halcyon River" made by Philippa and her husband, wildlife cameraman Charlie Hamilton James. The book has been avidly read in the office, as Philippa and Charlie are great friends of IOSF. Then we realised how much our supporters would also enjoy it and decided to add it to our range. A warm, funny and touching book (with plenty of otters!).
