The best of Durrell,
By
This review is from: The Aye-aye and I: A Rescue Mission in Madagascar (Revival) (Paperback)
This book, which I read in Madagascar, is one of Durrell's best. The adventures of Durrell and Quentin Bloxham in search of the Aye Aye are vividly and amusingly described. And it's a success story. Their achievements are wonderful and they had a lot of fun; they have managed to draw the Malagasy people into their efforts to conserve animals which were part of the food chain and in imminent danger of extinction. The Durrell Trust is carrying on the good work.

rediscovering Gerald Durrell,
By
This review is from: The Aye-aye and I: A Rescue Mission in Madagascar (Revival) (Paperback)
I have recently rediscovered the pleasures of reading Gerald Durrell when I came across these reprints from Summersdale publishing. It has been a wonderful experience revisiting these magical true life stories stories and even more poignant in today's climate. A Man ahead of his time.

lacking the humour of My Family,
By
This review is from: The Aye-aye and I: A Rescue Mission in Madagascar (Revival) (Paperback)
This is a much more factual account of a conservation trip and I felt lacked the humour of My Family and Other Animals. It was interesting but didn't give me the same level of entertainment.
