Young and idealistic Jonathan Franklin left rural Suffolk to work in Brazil. After a few years in an investment bank in Rio, he bought into land in the Amazon. This was a very different world. He soon learned that beneath the colourful mosaic of races, religions and cultures was a strong undercurrent of greed, unprincipled politics and violent crime. Spending much of his time in the Amazon, he became acutely aware of the plight of the indigenous people and the destruction of the Rain Forest. It led him to write his first work of fiction, Red Road Green, in the hope of raising awareness of an impending tragedy that will affect us all. Jonathan Franklin's first book, Two Owls at Eton, was described as a classic of wildlife writing. It went straight to the best seller list and stayed there for several weeks. Republished in 2016 it was a best seller all over again.
