Perhaps the main book that led to Gerald Durrell's fame as an author writing about his adventures in the Cameroons (the 'Beagles' referring to a group of mongrel dogs the used for hunting the rare animals the sought). Still a very nice copy though this is the second printing. Apparently this is Durrell's second book and the first to be illustrated by Ralph Thompson."It was Hart-Davis who bought author and artist together in a partnership that lasted for more than a decade" Show more
