Review # 1 was written on 2019-05-03 00:00:00 Troy Buchanan Part of the sequence of autobiographical books that begins with My Family and Other Animals. In this one Durrell starts working in London Zoo and somehow manages to resist the temptation to put on a ripped old uniform leaping out from behind the lion enclosure only tell zoo visitors tall stories about how savage and dangerous the lions are. Not a classic in the sense of My Family and Other Animals, but still a pleasant read.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-08-31 00:00:00 Larry Morton "Born in India, Gerald Durrell returned to England when he was three, and five years later, the entire entourage, lead by his intrepid, imperturbable mother, went abroad again, eventually settling in Corfu. From the age of two, he was fascinated by zoology, over the years assembling a large, and not altogether savory, collection of pets, strays, and specimens. As his unofficial zoo grew, so did his family’s discomfort. The solution was to find another, more permanent outlet for his passion. So in 1945 he joined Whipsnade—a new concept in open-range animal exhibits—as a student keeper, with Albert the lion, Babs the polar bear, and a baby Père David’s deer among his first charges. In this entertaining history, he recaptures all the passion that permeated those early years, while conveying his insight into and affection for both four- and two-footed creatures. The book is full of larger-than-life animal characters: the bear who sang operatic arias with one paw clasped to his breast, his bosom friend Billy the goat, playful zebras, and a host of equally endearing and memorable critters. This is Durrell at his zoophilic best." ~~GoodReads Another charming, hilarious, insightful look at working with animals of all shapes, sizes, personalities and temperaments. Absolutely fascinating, and more than educational. Gerald Durrell seems to have been ahead of his time as a leader in knowing that animals should be studied in order to be understood -- a completely alien concept before his time.
