Whispering Land | Gerald Malcolm Durrell

2 posts | 3 read | 1 reading | 3 to read

Fans of Gerard Durrell's beloved classic My Family and Other Animals and other accounts of his lifelong fascination with members of the animal kingdom will rejoice at The Whispering Land. The sequel to A Zoo in My Luggage, this is the story of how Durrell and his wife's zoo-building efforts at England's Jersey Zoo led them and a team of helpers on an eight-month safari in Argentina to look for South American specimens. Through windswept Patagonian shores and tropical forests in Argentina, from ocelots to penguins, fur seals to parrots, Durrell captures the landscape and its inhabitants with his signature charm and humor.

2/225 This book may be over 60 years old but I really enjoyed Gerald Durrell‘s trip across #Argentina and his exploits as he searched for animals for the zoo he was setting up in Jersey. Interesting exploits and it made for a good audiobook. 1st book for #ReadingtheAmericas2023. As it was A, perhaps I should go to B and Brazil for the next one. @BarbaraBB @Librarybelle

Starting off the #ReadingtheAmericas2023 Challenge by heading off to #Argentina with Gerald Durrell as he searches for animals for the zoo he set up in Jersey. This is set in the 1950s.
