MYSELF AND OTHER ANIMALS

LEE DURRELL

FREEDOM CENTRE / THURSDAY 25 SEPTEMBER / 18.00-19.00

£9

Myself and Other Animals is a new book mosaicked from unpublished autobiographies, uncollected pieces and extracts from Gerald Durrell’s work and archives. The result is an extraordinary journey through Durrell’s life in his own words, edited and introduced by his widow Lee. Moving from India to England and then to the always sun-lit Corfu, this is the unvarnished story of one of Britain’s most beloved conservationists.

Discussing Gerald Durrell’s legacy and their adventures together, Lee Durrell will be in conversation with Rod McLoughlin.
