| book description |

Embark on a captivating adventure through the Argentine Pampas and the little-known Chaco territory of Paraguay with Gerald Durrell, the much-loved author of My Family and Other Animals. A riveting account of one of Durrell's expeditions in search of rare animals, The Drunken Forest is informative, witty and guaranteed to have you laughing out loud. As you journey through the wilds you'll meet orange armadillos, horned toads and crab-eating raccoons, all brought to life with Durrell's wit and narrative flair, just as he portrays the chance human acquaintances he encounters along the route. With life seen through Durrell's clear, humorous and unsentimental eyes, The Drunken Forest is a triumph of nature writing from one of the world's most pioneering conservationists. 'A renegade who was right . . . He was truly a man before his time' – Sir David Attenborough
