About the Creator
C. Burke
Hi there and welcome to This Wild Life! I’ve always loved two things: spending time with animals and sharing my love of animals. After working in wildlife education and exploring Ireland’s wild places, I wanted to find a way to share that love with children and families.
That’s how This Wild Life began — a series of books where fact and imagination meet. Through the adventures of native Irish wildlife, I hope to spark curiosity, bring smiles, and remind readers that Ireland’s animals are full of wonder.



Fun Facts About Me
- Favourite Irish animal: the fox!
- Favourite place to explore: the Glenbeigh Fairy Forest
- Animals I have worked and learned from: Turkey vultures, Hyena, Hamadryas Baboon, Common Bottlenose Dolphin, Indian Crested Porcupine, and many more
- Inspiration for these books: my family and Ireland’s wild landscapes
- My dream: to connect the world’s wildlife one story at a time ✨
“Big adventures, little lessons, straight from the wild.”
Take a look at some of my favorite memories, friends (furry, feathered, scaled, quilled, etc), and places around the world waiting to be shared and explored.
