| book description |

Written with Gerald Durrellâ€™s usual sharp eye for observing humour in any situation, Rosy Is My Relative will delight fans both old and new. At the age of thirty, Adrian Rookwhistleâ€™s life hasn't quite turned out the way heâ€™d have hoped. Working an unfulfilling job as a clerk in the city and living under the tyranny of his fearsome landlady, he canâ€™t help but think that there is more to life. However, all of this suddenly changes when he receives a curious letter from his dying uncle who has bequeathed him Â£500 and an elephant by the name of Rosy who has a seemingly unquenchable thirst for liquor. At a loss of what to do with his unexpectedly gargantuan â€“ and rarely sober â€“ inheritance, Adrian sets forth on a journey believing to have the answer to his dilemma: heâ€™ll give her away to the circus. Together Adrian and Rosy carve a trail of destruction through the peaceful countryside of southern England, meeting a curious cast of misfits along the way. Drunk or sober, Rosy spreads chaos in her wake, until the full weight of the law finally catches up with her . . .
