    <body><![CDATA[Enough good things can't be said about Gerald Durrell and his amazing (true) animal stories. Touching, clever, interesting, very witty and thoroughly compelling. I have seven of his books already, and my collection is steadily growing.<br/><br/>Highly recommended.]]></body>

    <![CDATA[  Fans of Gerald Durrell’s timeless classic <em>My Family and Other Animals</em> will love this   hilarious tale, which finds him as an adult still charmed by his beloved animals. <em>A Zoo in My   Luggage</em> begins with an account of Durrell’s third trip to the British Cameroons in West   Africa, during which he and his wife capture animals to start their own zoo. Returning to England   with a few additions to their family—Cholmondeley the chimpanzee, Bug-eye the bush baby, and   others—they have nowhere to put them as they haven’t yet secured a place for their zoo. Durrell’s   account of how he manages his menagerie in all sorts of places throughout England while finding a   permanent home for the animals provides as much adventure as capturing them. For animal lovers   of all ages, <em>A Zoo in My Luggage</em> is the romping true story of the boy who grew up to   make a Noah’s Ark of his own.]]>
