A classic Gerald Durrell title reissued by Penguin to celebrate the centenary of his birth

The Manor of the title is Les Augrès Manor in Trinity, Jersey. Inside, we find a remarkable collection of pen portraits of some of the creatures of Gerald Durrell''s Zoo. We also discover some of the timeless lessons Durrell learned about making real and sustaining his childhood ambition of having his own zoo - and why conservation matters more than ever.

One of Gerald Durrell''s most beloved titles is back in print as a Penguin paperback to celebrate the centenary of his birth.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Gerald Durrell

A bestselling author with over 35 million copies sold worldwide, Gerald Durrell (1925-1995) was born in India. His family returned to Europe when he was three years old and soon settled on the island of Corfu, Greece, where he lived until 1939.
The author dedicated his entire life to the study of zoology and wildlife, and his books are greatly inspired by his experience. A major driving force and promoter of nature conservation initiatives, he was one of the first people to warn of the dangers of industrial and technological development and its impact on the environment.
My Family and Other Animals, published by Presença, is one of his most widely read titles worldwide, by young readers as well as adults, and is part of the Corfu trilogy already adapted for television under the title The Durrells.
