The Best of Gerald Durrell, Gerald Durrell

Hardback, 1st Edition, Very Good Condition.

An irresistible collection of the very best of Gerald Durrell’s writings, selected by his wife Lee Durrell.

Many people’s introduction to Gerald Durrell was My Family and Other Animals, the glorious description of his childhood in Corfu, full of sunshine, humour and sheer delight in discovering the natural world and the animals inhabiting it.
Durrell saw, earlier than most, the threats to the animal kingdom of human ignorance and greed, and spent the rest of his life contributing in every way he could to the conservation struggle. By the time he died in 1995 he had written nearly forty books, amusing countless readers and
inspiring them to join the fight to prevent the despoiling of the natural environment and its creatures.
