Durrell A non-fiction book, this is the story of the adventure of a young naturalist and his two companions during their trip to British Guiana. It has everything you could ask for in a book, plenty of ad venture of the spine-tingling type, but the author has a flair for humor that keeps the book easy to read. Trying to capture all these un willing creatures alive was no small task, and though their methods were sometimes quite out of the ordinary, they usually succeeded. Imagine having a giant An aconda snake loose in your house—or back yard, or a house ful of monkeys, or a swim in a lake filled with man-eating piranha fish. Catching an ant eater via horseback, and lying on top of rats in order to catch them, might be considered odd means of gathering these crea- tures, but these methods work- ed. Armchair reading of this ad venture proves tq be an enter taining and educational inter lude and its a book that is never dull, in fact you will probably want to do nothing but read.
