Gerald Durrell (1925–1995) is a famous English zoologist and traveler, one of the cult figures of the 20th century. Durrell's books have long been a treasure of world literature and are very popular among readers around the world. The Way of the Kangaroo is the story of Durrell's six-month expedition to New Zealand, Australia and Malaya. Despite the fact that the travelers did not spend much time in each country, they were able to get acquainted with the incredible diversity of flora and fauna of the island states. He talks about the difficulties and discoveries that awaited the famous naturalist and his companions on the expedition with inimitable humor and research precision. The story “Catch Me a Colobus” is a sketch of the life of the employees of the Jersey Zoo created by Darrell - a life so amazing (one expedition to Africa for leopards and monkeys is worth it!) that many of us will find it an incredibly exciting adventure. The publication contains illustrations by famous British artists Barry Dryscoll and Edward Mortelmans.
