'For many years I had wanted to start a zoo . . . any reasonable
person smitten with an ambition of this sort would have secured the
zoo first and obtained the animals afterwards. but throughout my
life I have rarely if ever achieved what I wanted by tackling it in
a logical fashion.' A Zoo in My Luggage is Gerald Durrell's account
of his attempt to set up his own zoo, after years spent gathering
animals for other zoos. Journeying to Cameroon, he and his wife
collected numerous mammals, birds and reptiles, including
Cholmondely the chimpanzee and Bug-eye the bush-baby. But their
problems really began when they attempted to return with their
exotic menagerie. Not only had they to get them safely home to
Britain but they also had to find somewhere able and - most of all
- willing to house them. Told with wit and a zest for all things
furry and feathered, Gerald Durrell's A Zoo in My Luggage is a
brilliant account of how a pioneer of wildlife preservation came to
found a new type of zoo.
