A Zoo in My Luggage
of Gerald Durrell, Ralph Thompson (Illustrator)
Description
Fans of Gerald Durrellâs timeless classic My Family and Other Animals will love this hilarious tale, which finds him as an adult still charmed by his beloved animals. A Zoo in My Luggage begins with an account of Durrellâs third trip to the British Cameroons in West Africa, during which he and his wife capture animals to start their own zoo. Returning to England with a few additions to their familyâCholmondeley the chimpanzee, Bug-eye the bush baby, and othersâthey have nowhere to put them as they havenât yet secured a place for their zoo. Durrellâs account of how he manages his menagerie in all sorts of places throughout England while finding a permanent home for the animals provides as much adventure as capturing them. For animal lovers of all ages, A Zoo in My Luggage is the romping true story of the boy who grew up to make a Noahâs Ark of his own.
