Description: A Zoo in My Luggage by Gerald Durrell Originally published: New York: Viking Press, 1960. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Fans of Gerald Durrells timeless classic My Family and Other Animals, which was the inspiration for The Durrells in Corfu on Masterpiece PBS, will love this hilarious tale that finds the author as an adult still charmed by his beloved animals. A Zoo in My Luggage begins with an account of Durrells 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 family—Cholmondeley the chimpanzee, Bug-eye the bush baby, and others—they have nowhere to put them as they havent yet secured a place for their zoo. Durrells 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 Noahs Ark of his own.
