'A renegade who was right . . . He was truly a man before his time'
– Sir David Attenborough
Delightfully readable and often very funny.

An account of Gerald Durrell’s tour of New Zealand, Australia and
Malaya in search of rarities . . . Easy to read, difficult to put
down, with many vivid sidelights on the human side of the
expedition. This absorbing narrative reveals the ardours, ironies
and disappointments, the organizational miracles and the hilarious
human mishaps . . .
*Sunday Times*
Mr Durrell has the knack of writing about animals and their antics
with tremendous affection and enthusiasm, but without
sentimentality.
