520    Journey to South America on a search for endangered 
       species with the author of My Family and Other Animals. In
       1950, Gerald Durrell set off for British Guiana (now 
       Guyana) to collect native wildlife and bring it back to 
       his Jersey Wildlife Preservation Trust on the island of 
       Jersey in the English Channel. On his journey, Durrell 
       experienced all kinds of adventures: some amusing, some 
       thrilling, and some extremely irritating. He traveled up 
       the Essequibo River into the lush tropical forests and 
       trekked across a landscape teeming with life and color. He
       encountered the sakiwinki monkey and the sloth with 
       curiously green fur, heard the horrifying sounds of 
       rampaging piranhas, and learned how to lasso a galloping 
       anteater. He even met an ill-tempered anaconda and an 
       overly affectionate bird. This remarkable memoir will take
       you into a wild place in another time, accompanied by the 
       highly entertaining naturalist whose writings inspired 
       popular Masterpiece series The Durrells in Corfu. This 
       ebook features an illustrated biography of Gerald Durrell 
       including rare photos from the author's estate.
