I am going to check our library, before trying to secure some of his other books. I have 4... Aye Aye and I, My Family and other Animals, Menagerie Manor, Amateur Naturalist.
We bought them years ago when my son was in middle school.
We've all read these, and I have twice, now.
I think Gerald Durrell was a very unique person. He had a wonder gift with words and a terrific sense of humor. He was resourceful too... I am near the end of Menagerie Manor and the Gorilla stories are amazing. How he drummed up the $$ to purchase the two animals is very illustrative of his verve for life and his beliefs!
I am pleased that you like him too, Glenn!
