Beschreibung
A classic Gerald Durrell title reissued by Penguin to celebrate the centenary of his birth. 'Gerald Durrell was magic' SIR DAVID ATTENBOROUGH. Menagerie Manor. chronicles the early, sunlit days of Gerald Durrell's dream to create a sanctuary for animals, realized Les Augrès Manor in Trinity, Jersey. Here we encounter Leo the lion, who enjoys roaring solidly through the night; N'Pongo the gorilla who thinks nothing of boarding a small plane to be part of a BBC documentary; and Claudius the South American tapir, an escape art of Houdini-like cunning. Republished to celebrate the centenary of Durrell's birth, this book is a testament to the enduring importance of conservation in a changing world, and the profound connection between the human and animal kingdoms. 'This book is a certain joy' NEW STATESMAN. 'Animals come close to being Durrell's best friends. He writes about them with style, verve, and humour' TIME.
