Collins 1977 - book and wrapper in very good condition *** TRUE ADVENTURE. "Mauritius was the home of the ill-fated Dodo, the symbol of all those species that have become extinct in recent times. It is therefore appropriate that Gerald Durrell, the founder of the Jersey Wildlife Preservation Trust, should have set out to observe the remaining wildlife of Mauritius and to secure enough specimens to ensure its survival. Millions of years of isolation have developed in Mauritius a flora and fauna unique in the world - and dramatically endangered by man. . So Gerald Durrell and his team sailed for the island to perform what amounts to an animal rescue opration, and the story of their journey is fascinating , as funny as only Gerald Durrell can be, and as full of adventures as any classic tale of exploration. " Drawings throughout.
