Fans of Gerard Durrellas beloved classic "My Family and Other Animals" 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 wifeas zoo-building efforts at Englandas 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.
