Menagerie Manor

By Gerald Durrell

hardback, with dust jacket, in very good condition. published 1964. With pen illustrations by Ralph Thompson - well known for his sketches of animals -  who also designed the dust jacket. 

A lovely recounting of how Durrell came to start his own zoo in Jersey. Told with humour and warmth - it's easy to see why his books have always been so popular. Lovely to read.
