A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Few celebrities touched the world as Steve Irwin did. He was loved by people from all walks of life and his vast efforts at conservation continue to make a difference all over the globe. His wife Terri's commitment to continuing his legacy is admirable and inspirational to so many who can benefit from her strength and conviction.
Steve and Terri's story is not just one of taking a noble cause to a new height, but is also a fairytale love affair. When Terri, an American tourist in Australia, first laid eyes on Steve, she saw a real-life action hero. She was, however, disappointed to hear that his heart belonged to another. Steve offered to introduce her to his girlfriend, whistled and presented his best girl: a Staffordshire bull terrier called Sui. Later, Steve took Terri on a remarkable first date - a canoe ride through the swamp at night. Terri describes the luminescent eyes of the crocodiles flashing in the beam of her torchlight. When Steve then confidently climbed out of the boat and into the water, she knew she would never feel unsafe again.
Steve and Terri married in June 1992 and the footage of their crocodile-trapping honeymoon became the first episode of The Crocodile Hunter. Together, Steve and Terri changed the perception of conservation and sparked global interest in the animals of the Australian bush. This is their story.

Quatrième de couverture

'During the decade and a half that I knew him, Steve packed his life chock-a-block full with risks of all kinds. One crowded hour of glorious life is worth more than an age without a name. I had no regrets for Steve's glorious life and I know
he couldn't have lived any other way'
When Terri Raines was twenty-seven years old, she took a holiday that changed her life. Leaving behind her wildlife rescue work in the United States, Terri travelled to Australia and there, at a small wildlife park, she met and fell in love with a tall, blond force of nature named Steve Irwin. They were married in less than a year, and Terri eagerly joined in Steve's conservation work. The footage filmed on their crocodile-trapping honeymoon became the first episode of The Crocodile Hunter, and together, Steve and Terri began to change the world.
In Steve & Me, Terri Irwin recounts the unforgettable adventures they shared - wrangling venomous snakes, saving deadly crocodiles from poachers, swimming among humpback whales - and portrays her husband as he really was. Steve & Me is a non-stop adventure, a real-life love story and a fitting tribute to a man adored by all those whose lives he touched, written by the woman who knew and loved him best of all.
