The Whispering Land

$50.00

Gerald Durrell and his wife are the proud owners of a small zoo on the island of Jersey. But there’s one thing that’s better than a small zoo – a bigger one! So, Durrell heads off to South America to collect more animals. Along windswept Patagonian shores and in Argentine tropical forests, he encounters a range of animals from penguins to elephant seals. But as always, he is drawn to those rare and interesting creatures which he hopes will thrive and breed in captivity. Told with enthusiasm and without sentimentality, Gerald Durrell’s ‘The Whispering Land’ is an often hilarious but always inspiring foray into the South American wilds. Illustrations by Ralph Thompson.
