Gerald Durrell (1925-1995) was a famous English zoologist and traveler, one of the iconic figures of the twentieth century. Durrell's books have long been the golden fund of world literature and are very popular with readers all over the world. The works included in this book ("Three Tickets to Edventure", "Under the Canopy of the Drunken Forest") tell about Darrell's travels to South America. There, the great fur trapper and his team searched for rare animals and birds. According to Darrell, there is a misconception that catching animals in the profession of animal keeper - the most difficult. But in reality, the real work begins when the animal is captured. Providing the animals with proper nutrition and, most importantly, getting them to the zoo is often a very difficult task. However, Darrell never hid the fact that for the sake of his favorite work - sometimes dangerous and troublesome, but never boring - he was willing to take risks and undergo all sorts of inconveniences. The author writes about his impressions of South America, its fantastic nature, meetings with new animals, their habits, funny and sometimes very touching communication with them with unfailing love, impeccable accuracy and inimitable humor. The edition contains illustrations by the famous British artist Ralph Thompson.
