This is the hugely entertaining account of how the much-loved conservationist and author, Gerald Durrell, fulfilled his life long ambition by founding his own private sanctuary for endangered species in Jersey with the help of an enduring wife, a selfless staff and a reluctant bank manager.
With a foreward by Lee Durrell, Honorary Director of the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, this book about the trials and wonders of living in the middle of a zoo is a classic that will continue to bring pleasure to those who grew up reading Durrell and deserves a whole new readship.
Afterword by Will Masefield, Senior Mammal Keeper, Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust.
