Meet the Author: Adam Weymouth

In 2011, a young wolf named Slavc set out from Slovenia.

Tracked by GPS, he travelled a thousand miles through the Alps, arriving four months later on the Lessinian plateau, north of Verona. There had been no wolves in northern Italy for a century, but here he crossed paths with a female wolf on a walkabout of her own. A decade later and there are more than a hundred wolves back in the area, the result of their remarkable meeting.

In Lone Wolf, Weymouth walks Slavc's path, examining the changes facing these wild corners of Europe. Here, the call to rewild meets the urge to preserve culture; nationalism and globalisation pull apart; climate change is radically changing lives; and migrants, too, are on the move.

Lone Wolf has received critical acclaim including being Shortlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize 2025.

We're delighted to host Adam as he delivers a reading from his book followed by a talk & Q&A about both his and Slavc's journey. Highlighting the challenges all animals, including us, face as we navigate an ever changing environmental and political landscape.

There will also be the opportunity to purchase copies of the book and have them signed by the author.
