Wild Thing: Finding Hope and a Home in the Natural World
€13.18
After Randal Plunkett inherited the title of Baron Dunsany, alongside Dunsany Castle and the 1500 hectare estate, he found himself at a crossroads – but had no choice but to accept. Now, where once his ancestors had grazing animals on the grounds, Randal has let nature reign wild. What Randal had was a vision of Dunsany given back to nature. This book is a memoir-with-a-mission, showcasing how this poisoned chalice – a cold, leaky, needy castle, with all the responsibilities to the generations before – became a personal journey toward fulfilment, a vital mission toward a better, more sustainable, future, and a call to arms for the environment, and the people who live among it.

'Randal's voice dares to diverge in a world built on conformity and tradition. I genuinely revelled in every moment. This book is raw, heartfelt, brave and just utterly alive' - Sean Ronayne, author of Nature Boy
At the age of 28, Randal Plunkett inherited the title of Baron Dunsany, alongside Dunsany Castle and the 1,600-acre estate and found himself at a crossroads. A reluctant aristocrat, he now lets nature run wild on grounds his ancestors farmed for centuries.
What Randal had was a vision of Dunsany given back to nature. A memoir-with-a-message, Wild Thing showcases how this poisoned chalice - a cold, leaky, needy castle, with all the responsibilities to the generations before - inspired a personal journey toward fulfilment, a vital mission toward a better, more sustainable, future, and a call to arms for the environment, and the people who live in it.
