520 The author of the Corfu Trilogy recounts the delights-and
challenges-of opening a private zoo on the English Channel
Island of Jersey. Spurred by his passion for animals and a
lifelong dream, in the spring of 1959 Gerald Durrell
opened the Jersey Zoo-now known as the Durrell Wildlife
Park-on the grounds of an old manor house. The menagerie
provided a safe habitat for rare and endangered species
and exposed its human visitors to the wonders of nature.
Dealing with escapee animals and overdrawn bank accounts,
Durrell soon discovered that owning and operating a
fledgling zoo was no easy task. But despite the setbacks,
these charming, often hilarious stories make clear that,
for Durrell, ensuring the park's success and helping the
creatures he loved so dearly was worth any obstacle. This
ebook features an illustrated biography of Gerald Durrell
including rare photos from the author's estate.
