The Whispering Land by Gerald Durrell (9780143037088)

Description - The Whispering Land by Gerald Durrell

Fans of Gerard Durrell's beloved classic My Family and Other Animals, which was the inspiration for The Durrells in Corfu on Masterpiece PBS, and other accounts of his lifelong fascination with members of the animal kingdom will rejoice at The Whispering Land.

The sequel to A Zoo in My Luggage, this is the story of how Durrell and his wife's zoo-building efforts at England's Jersey Zoo led them and a team of helpers on an eight-month safari in Argentina to look for South American specimens. Through windswept Patagonian shores and tropical forests in Argentina, from ocelots to penguins, fur seals to parrots, Durrell captures the landscape and its inhabitants with his signature charm and humor.
