A Zoo in My Luggage is the account of Gerald Durrell’s third trip to the British Cameroons in West Africa, during which he and his wife capture animals to start their own zoo . . .

Told with a wit and a zest for all things furry and feathered, Gerald Durrell's A Zoo in My Luggage is a brilliant account of how a pioneer of wildlife preservation came to found a new type of zoo. 

"If animals, birds, and insects could speak, they would possibly award Durrell one of their first Nobel prizes.  His creatures are as alive as his style." -- The Times Literary Supplement
