The Aye-Aye and I

Производитель: "Penguin Books Ltd."

`In the gloom it came along the branches towards me, its round, hypnotic eyes blazing, its spoon-like ears turning to and fro independently like radar dishes . . . it was Lewis Carroll`s Jabberwocky come to life . . . one of the most incredible creatures I had ever been privileged to meet.` The fourth largest island in the world, Madagascar is home to woodlice the size of golf balls, moths the size of Regency fans and the Aye-Aye, a type of lemur held by local superstion to be an omen of death. But when Gerald Durrell visited the island, the destruction of the forests meant that the Aye-Aye and many other creatures were in danger of extinction. Told with his unique sense of humour and inimitable charm, Gerald Durrell`s `The Aye Aye and I` is the final adventure from one Britain`s best loved conservationists. ISBN:978-0-670-92068-6
