The Path of the Kangaroo Joey. Catch Me a Colobus

Gerald Durrell (1925–1995) — a famous English zoologist and traveler, one of the iconic figures of the XX century. Durrell's books have long been part of the golden fund of world literature and are very popular among readers all over... the world. .
«The Path of the Kangaroo Joey» — is a story of Durrell's six-month expedition to New Zealand, Australia, and Malaya. Although the travelers spent not much time in each country, they managed to get acquainted with the incredible diversity of the animal and plant world of the island states. He recounts the difficulties and discoveries awaiting the celebrated naturalist and his companions on the expedition with unmatched humor and research accuracy. The tale «Catch Me a Colobus» presents sketches from the life of the staff of the Jersey Zoo created by Durrell — a life so astonishing (one expedition to Africa for leopards and monkeys alone is worth it!) that many of us would find it an incredibly captivating adventure.

The publication contains illustrations by renowned British artists Barry Driscoll and Edward Mortelmans.
