About this product

Product Information

Gerald Durrell is among the best-selling authors in English. His adventurous spirit and his spontaneous gift for narrative and anecdote stand out in his accounts of expeditions in Africa and South America in search of rare animals. He divines the characters of these creatures with the same clear, humorous and unsentimental eyes with which he regards those chance human acquaintances whose conversation in remote places he often reproduces in all its devastating and garbled originality. To have maintained, for over fifteen years, such unfailing standards of entertainment can only be described as a triumph. The Argentine pampas and the little-known Chaco territory of Paraguay provide the setting for The Drunken Forest. With Durrell for interpreter, an orange armadillo or a horned toad, or a crab-eating raccoon suddenly discovers the ability not merely to set you laughing but also to endear itself to you. 'His sympathy with the animal world encourages the Disney in every creature to show itself' Time And Tide

  • Fun, excellent book for whole family! From kids to grandparents!

    Perfect book for any ages! Especially nature-lovers and people who like animals. Sparkling fun! You'll be laughing to the tears! Wonderful, vivid portraits of animals and people, lot of adventures,colorful and fun book! I love Durrell's books, all of them great! The ones about family, about his first job in zoo, the ones about his travels, and, of course, the ones about his own zoo... I read them, then I read them to my son, then I pass them to grandparents and they read them, then they pass them to the uncles and cousins... Endless fun, everybody love them!
