| book description |

A posthumous work from the beloved conservationist and naturalist Gerald Durrell, to celebrate the centenary of his birth, with a new foreword by HRH Princess Anne. â€˜Gerald Durrell was magicâ€™ SIR DAVID ATTENBOROUGH â€˜A wise, genial and world-encompassing bookâ€™ SUNDAY TIMES â€˜Fills important gaps in the biographical narrative . . . Truly, there is magic hereâ€™ GUARDIAN Myself and Other Animals is a new book mosaicked from unpublished autobiographies, uncollected pieces and previously published extracts from Durrellâ€™s work and archives. The result is an extraordinary journey through Durrellâ€™s life in his own words, edited and introduced by his widow Lee Durrell. Drawing on a memoir that Durrell started writing before he became too ill to continue it, and an unfinished book from a trip to Australia in 1969 to the Great Barrier Reef, Northern Territory and Queensland, here is the unvarnished story of Durrellâ€™s life, from touching family tributes to golden bats and pink pigeons. Moving from India to England and then to the always sun-lit Corfu, told with dry wit and insight into our fellow animals, here is the vivid finale of one of Britainâ€™s most beloved conservationists and prose stylists. 'Funny and readable and hugely charming' i â€˜One of the finest and most lyrical nature writers in Englishâ€™ OBSERVER 'A moving tribute to Gerald's endeavours and achievements as a conservationist' SPECTATOR
