About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

A classic Gerald Durrell title reissued by Penguin to celebrate the centenary of his birth.


The Manor of the title is Les Augrès Manor in Trinity, Jersey. Inside, we find a remarkable collection of pen portraits of some of the creatures of Gerald Durrell's Zoo. We also discover some of the timeless lessons Durrell learned about making real and sustaining his childhood ambition of having his own zoo - and why conservation matters more than ever.


'This book is a certain joy' New Statesman

'Animals come close to being Durrell's best friends. . . . He writes about them with style, verve, and humour'
