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.

One of Gerald Durrell''s most beloved titles is back in print as a Penguin paperback to celebrate the centenary of his birth.

\nA classic Gerald Durrell title reissued by Penguin to celebrate the centenary of his birth'Gerald Durrell was magic' SIR DAVID ATTENBOROUGHMenagerie Manor chronicles the early, sunlit days of Gerald Durrell’s dream to create a sanctuary for animals, realized Les Augrès Manor in Trinity, Jersey. Here we encounter Leo the lion, who enjoys roaring solidly through the night; N’Pongo the gorilla who thinks nothing of boarding a small plane to be part of a BBC documentary; and Claudius the South American tapir, an escape art of Houdini-like cunning. Republished to celebrate the centenary of Durrell’s birth, this book is a testament to the enduring importance of conservation in a changing world, and the profound connection between the human and animal kingdoms.
