'I once travelled back from Africa on a ship with an Irish captain who did not
like animals. This was unfortunate, because most of my luggage consisted of
about two hundred odd cages of assorted wildlife . . .'
Gerald Durrell's accounts of the animals he encountered on his travels were some
of the first widely shared descriptions of the world's most extraordinary
animals.
Moving from the West Coast of Africa to the northern tip of South America - and
elsewhere - Durrell observes the courtships, wars and characters of a variety of
creatures, from birds of paradise, to ants and anteaters, among others.
Told with his trademark charm and humour, Gerald Durrell's Encounters with
Animals is a uniquely entertaining exploration of some of the world's most
striking landscapes and the wildlife it is home to.
