GERALD DURRELL (1925-1995)
British zoologist, traveller, writer, and broadcaster, brother of author Lawrence Durrell. - Gerald Durrell was born in Jamshedpur, India. When he was ten, his widowed mother took her family to live on the Greek island of Corfu. Durrell was educated by private tutors. From 1945 to 46 he worked at Whipsnade Zoo and then went on several animal collecting expeditions to Cameroon, Guyana, and other countries. In the 1950s Durrell published his first animal stories, which became very popular and have been translated into many languages. My Family and Other Animals (1956) told tales about his unconventional family and the islanders on Corfu. In The Drunken Forest (1978) and ThreeTickets to Adventure (1954) Durrell described animal-collecting expeditions. With his second wife Lee, a conservationist, Durrell bred rare species for eventual return to the wild.
