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.

“Big adventures, little lessons, straight from the wild.”
