Great book, but missed the photos the hard copy includes I loved the book, but really missed the fact that the Kindle version did not support/include photos.I discovered Gerald Durrell's writing in 8th grade when a friend was guffawing in the school library over "My Family And Other Animals." I've read just about every good he wrote, and plan to visit the zoo on the Channel Islands within the next few years.The biography outlines a unique individual, with amazing natural intelligence and wit. Like anyone, Durr. Mary Carhart said Loving Animals, Loving Life. Douglas Botting is a terrific writer and he has chosen a compelling subject, zoo-master nnd conservationist Gerald Durrell. Using passages from Durrell's own vivid descriptions, this book is a lively journey to exotic places, but neither the settings nor the creatures fascinate as much as the man himself. His unique childhood, his dedication to the natural world, his many enterprises and a tumultuous personal life are all here -- and photographs too.
