Натуралист на мушке. Юбилей ковчега. Мама на выданье. Ай-Ай и я

The book by Gerald Durrell "The Naturalist on the Gun", a widely known English naturalist writer, is devoted to a description of the filming of films for a television program about animals. Filming took place in various parts of the Earth - on tropical islands off the coast of Panama and in northern Canada, in the American Sonoran Desert and in a national park in Africa. The reader has the opportunity to go on an exciting journey with Darrell, plunge into the atmosphere of making films about animals, and meet interesting people.

"The Ark Jubilee" consists of two stories telling about an expedition to Madagascar and about the anniversary celebration of a zoo on the island of Jersey.

It turns out that not only people can be alcoholics and foul-mouthed people. A parrot bought by Darrell for the occasion and intended for the priest suffered from these defects. Only this was discovered at the most inopportune moment. The author, as always, cheerfully and gracefully talks about what came out of this, as well as other funny incidents, in the story “Mother of Marriageable Age.”

The book “Aye-aye and I” will tell readers about the wonderful world the island of Madagascar and its inhabitants.
