Born on this day.....

Gerald Durrell was ten when his family moved to Corfu; his memories of childhood there are encapsulated in 'My Family and Other Animals'.

A naturalist, conservationist and writer, Durrell strove to save dwindling species across the planet: 'There is no first world and third world. There is only one world, for all of us to live and delight in.'

"Oh, a cow in a manger, a pig in a sty,
They all love their slices of moon carrot pie,"
said the parcel in two different voices....

When the children opened up the parcel, there sat an extraordinary rainbow-hued parrot and a tiny golden spider.

- Gerald Durrell, "The Talking Parcel"

Gerald Durrell's MY FAMILY AND OTHER ANIMALS and Thomas Mann's BUDDENBROOKS are as brilliant and as breathtaking as advertised. There's a real sense of wonder -- particularly for the natural elements -- in Durrell, to counter Larry's sour angst. And Mann? Jesus Christ, this guy builds teeming villages on the page, which is equally impressive!

Though it's now called #JerseyZoo, #Durrell is one of my favorite places to visit. They prompted me to get a degree in Environmental Science, Fish & Wildlife Management in hopes of getting into #conservation. If you haven't read the books, but #GeraldDurrell & are into conservation, I highly recommend them.
