A posthumous work from the beloved conservationist and naturalist Gerald Durrell, to celebrate the centenary of his birth, with a new foreword by HRH Princess Anne. âGerald Durrell was magicâ SIR DAVID ATTENBOROUGH âA wise, genial and world-encompassing bookâ SUNDAY TIMES âFills important gaps in the biographical narrative . . . Truly, there is magic hereâ GUARDIAN Myself and Other Animals is a new book mosaicked from unpublished autobiographies, uncollected pieces and previously published extracts from Durrellâs work and archives. The result is an extraordinary journey through Durrellâs life in his own words, edited and introduced by his widow Lee Durrell. Drawing on a memoir that Durrell started writing before he became too ill to continue it, and an unfinished book from a trip to Australia in 1969 to the Great Barrier Reef, Northern Territory and Queensland, here is the unvarnished story of Durrellâs life, from touching family tributes to golden bats and pink pigeons. Moving from India to England and then to the always sun-lit Corfu, told with dry wit and insight into our fellow animals, here is the vivid finale of one of Britainâs most beloved conservationists and prose stylists. 'Funny and readable and hugely charming' i âOne of the finest and most lyrical nature writers in Englishâ OBSERVER'A moving tribute to Gerald's endeavours and achievements as a conservationist' SPECTATOR
