Mary Ruth Clough To Unveil Real-Life Outdoor Chronicle At London’s Premier Literary Festival

Author Mary Ruth Clough presents her memoir collection, [i"My Outdoor Affairs: Some Funny, Some Surprising, and Some Amazing True Stories of My Outdoor Adventures[/i],[b"[/b] which chronicles a lifetime of connection with nature through occasionally humorous, often unexpected, and frequently subtly remarkable moments. This delightful yet introspective book will be showcased by The Maple Staple, in partnership with The Bookside Press at the London Book Fair 2026.

Rather than focusing on grand adventures, Mary Ruth Clough highlights genuine, lived experiences in National Forests and Parks, on private land, and within the environments of summer camps and outdoor schools. Every tale unveils the surprising wonders that nature has to offer. From amusing blunders to breathtaking experiences, Clough illustrates how time in nature reliably offers insights, viewpoints, and tales that linger in memory.

A key focus of the book is the healing influence of nature. The natural world is depicted as a sanctuary that enriches the spirit, harmonizes the mind, and offers insight. Clough’s storytelling highlights how outdoor adventures frequently result in the most captivating tales, as they are spontaneous and authentic.

Mary Ruth Clough earned her bachelor’s degree in wildlife management from the University of Wyoming and went on to obtain a master’s degree from Northern Arizona University. Her academic background and lifelong passion for nature infuse a memoir with genuine richness, honoring the unique narratives that only the great outdoors can share.

Crafted in a lively and inviting manner, “My Outdoor Affairs: Some Funny, Some Surprising, and Some Amazing True Stories of My Outdoor Adventures” captivates both passionate adventurers and leisurely readers. Come see it on The Maple Staple bookstore’s featured shelves at the London Book Fair 2026.
