DURRELL, Gerald. Menagerie Manor. London: Rupert Hart-Davis, 1964.
First edition. Illustrations in text and dust-jacket design by Ralph Thomson.
With his unfailing charm, Durrell tells the story of how he finally fulfilled his childhood dream of founding his own private zoo, the Manor of Les Augres, on the English Channel island of Jersey. With the help of an enduring wife, a selfless staff, and a reluctant bank manager, the zoo grows, and readers are treated to a colourful parade of the zoo’s unusual animal inhabitants.
176 pp, text illus. 8vo, original cloth. Very good in very bright dust jacket (a couple of minor chips; not price-clipped; in clear removable protective sleeve).
