Description

Gerald Durrell's account of his encounter with the Aye-Aye is one of the most incredible stories he ever shared. This lemur, held by local superstition to be an omen of death, was unlike any other creature he had met. Its round eyes and spoon-like ears made it seem like a character from Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky come to life. Durrell's visit to Madagascar took place against the backdrop of widespread forest destruction, which threatened the survival of many species, including the Aye-Aye. In his unique voice, he recounts this final adventure as part of his conservation work, highlighting the importance of protecting endangered creatures and their habitats. This book is a testament to Durrell's passion for wildlife conservation and his ability to share it with humour and charm.
