"Afternoon Tea In The Jungle With..." is a book of poetry written by Annie Lloyd-Hyde in response to the current global climate crisis, and the experience of the Covid-19 Pandemic, and is accompanied by a single line of drawings flowing through the book from the beginning to end. The poetry captures thoughts and feelings around the state of the world, our environment, our hand in global warming and dwindling numbers of species, and living through the global pandemic. It encompasses worry, sadness and guilt with a hint of well placed humour and a nod to Sir David Attenborough and his expertise on his subject. The illustrations by Fran Rawlings have been created as a single line drawing, connecting every poem, every animal and every issue through the book, with a finishing illustration of Sir David Attenborough himself. We have sent the book to Sir David Attenborough prior to printing, who has commented on being complimented by being included.
