Beasts in My Belfry

Collins, London, 1973, first edition. Good condition. Significant foxing. Some age and shealf wear with dustjacket.

Gerald Durrell?s legendary account of his coming-of-age as a reader, writer and budding naturalist at Whipsnade Zoo. He joyfully recaptures the glory of this single formative year where, in the crucible of muck, operatic brown bears, and reading Pliny by night and tending to the lions by day, the passionate worldview of one of the century?s great animal-loving renegades came into full view.
