Before Steve Irwin, before “Crocodile Dundee”, Alby Mangels was and is the original Australian wild man and conservationist. Finally agreeing to placate his diehard fans who have been screaming to know what happened to him, Alby has broken his 15 year silence in self-imposed seclusion and is speaking out like never before in this full and frank authorized biography.

Many myths and misconceptions have sprung up around Alby over the last 15 years, but during that time Alby has not been idle. He now has no less than eighty wildlife and environmentally-based documentaries under his belt, which have been screening internationally over the past decade, some to the highest ratings ever achieved on the US Discovery Channel. He has also created a native wildlife sanctuary on his pristine hideaway property in rural South Australia, and he’s discovered a new spiritual path of peace and acceptance after a terrible accident nearly left him unable to walk again.

You may well be asking yourself two questions at this point. Why did Alby choose Lynn Santer above any other author in the world to write his deeply personal story? And why now? Lynn and Alby originally met when Lynn was organizing the World Wildlife Fund’s 25th anniversary in Australia celebrations at Dreamworld, where Lynn has a long standing association with Dreamworld’s Endangered Tiger Fund. As both an accomplished author and a wildlife conservationist who has won awards recognising her work for animal welfare since she was 11 years old, Lynn attracted Alby’s attention.

Like many, Lynn had heard of the legend that was Alby Mangels decades earlier but in truth she had never even watched any of his films. When he sat her down and told her about his poverty and trial-stricken childhood, his dreams, his lust for adventure, his fervour for our natural world, his dazzling rise to the dizzy heights of hero-worship, and his crash back down to earth after his empire, his dreams and his reputation were shattered by a sequence of gut-wrenching disasters, Lynn’s heart went out to him and her writer’s zeal ached to tell his story to the world.

In his tell-all biography the man, the myth, and the magic that is Alby Mangels that will leave you gasping for breath, crying with laughter, weeping at the tragedies, and cheering with inspiration at his triumph against all odds.

The irony of the legendary playboy’s authorized biographer being better known these days as “Auntie Lynn” has not escaped anyone, but more importantly this Christmas this “Santer” intends to set the record straight about Alby Mangels, the enigmatic conservationist and adventurer, the man once desired by women, envied by men, and worshipped by a nation who disappeared so suddenly from the blaze of media attention, once and for all.
