Gayle King, 68, shows off her curves as she recreates her niece's swimsuit photos in hilarious annual tradition during their Mexican vacation Gerald Durrell was a zookeeper, naturalist, author, television presenter, and conservationist. As part of his conservationist works, he fulfilled a lifelong dream in 1958 when he founded what is now named the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust (formerly the Jersey Wildlife Preservation Trust) as well as the now Durrell Wildlife zoo, formerly the Jersey Zoo, located on the Channel Island of Jersey. Not quite. The show is based on the real Durrell family’s exploits, as recounted in youngest son Gerald’s bestselling 1956 book My Family and Other Animals, and the two books that followed, together making up his charming and funny Corfu trilogy. Gerald was 10 when the family came to live on the Greek island and he had an idyllic time roaming around discovering local fauna: “If I had the craft of Merlin, I would give every child the gift of my childhood,” he wrote.Other illustrators who worked with Durrell were Barry L. Driscoll, who illustrated Two in the Bush; Pat Marriott, who illustrated Look at Zoos; and Anne Mieke van Ogtrop, who illustrated The Talking Parcel and Donkey Rustlers. But what really elevates this particular non-fiction narrative to evocative and atmospheric is just how frequently Haag allows the family members (two of whom were authors) and those who knew them well (the literati of the time) to simply speak for themselves. He does this with timely and perceptive inline insertion of quotes from unpublished journals, letters and memoirs.
