This book is still in a very good used condition. >>> I enjoyed reading this and getting an update on Gerald Durrell's family (thanks to Clare for bringing the book to my attention), whom I first met in My Family and Other Animals. The stories about all the animals he brought back from various countries--and all the people he met who helped him along the way were fun, fascinating, and enlightening. - Jacquie's story begins with Gerry's courtship and her father's disapproval and moves on to their marriage and their journeys; she helped him, as did his family and Sophie, along with many others. Some customs officials--not so much. There were adventures, trials and tribulations, and eventually he succeeded in starting his zoo. That wasn't easy either. - Their travels and relationships and the history of various countries and cultures make for an enjoyable read.
