I absolutely loved the Corfu Trilogy, but this book was not the same. I missed the family members, the familiar, sometimes quirky inhabitants of Corfu, and perhaps the Gerry himself. Not surprisingly, adult Gerry is not as much fun as young Gerry. They have a lot in common, but it is just not the same. This book tells the story of Gerry and his wife on a trip to Africa where they are collecting animals for a zoo that Gerry wants to operate in the UK. He does not yet have a location for the zoo, but he does not seem overly concerned about that. He tells the story with a light touch. It is filled with animals, humor, and adventure. The dialect that is used in recounting conversation and correspondence with Africans made me uncomfortable and dated the story. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Captivating! *by B***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 7, 2020* What a delightful page turner! I loved this book so much I finished it within hours of the 200 pages book. Witty, skillful, and hilarious, are just 3 words out of many more that can describe this superbly written book. I Ordered this book after watching The Durrells in Corfu series and fell in love with the family stories. However, I was not expecting Gerrard Durrell’s commitments to animals to be such captivating tales told by him. I caught my self smiling, laughing, and Googling some of the unfamiliar animals he had in the stories. I was involved!His descriptions of landscapes, happenings, people, and emotions are so catchy that they put the reader in the instance and seeing the unfolding of the stories live from his eyes. The simplicity of life and less materialistic world, compared to the present, is such a breath of joy and envy, of how life way in the old days of 1950s. The relationship between people, the trust, the straight forwardness, were things of desire in today’s world. His relationship with the Fon of Baftu were filled with fun and endless drinking parties but the two men were connected in their hearts with warm friendship. It was exceptionally heartwarming and brought tears to my eyes when the night before Durrell was to leave Bafut, the interaction between them were so emotional and mutually respectful that they are examples of what friendship should be like.The setting of the real stories were in the early 50s so naturally the relationship and handling of the animals were not as today’s standard but Durrell’s love for animals and his strong will to raise awareness for conservation of them, especially endangered ones, are more advanced than what many people does today.All in all, exceptional tales of love of animals, distant land, people, and life. Looking forward to reading his other books. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Disappointing Delivery. *by N***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 17, 2021* Although the book and author are wonderful, my copy arrived nearly a week late and damaged. This is highly unusual for Amazon! Actually, I believe the delay and damaged was the fault of the carrier, USPS, and not Amazon. The paperback novel arrived bent, with large creases and the appearance and feel of water damage. Again, I reiterate, the novel is fantastic, written by one of my favorite authors, based on a true life family experiences of the famous Durrells!! The book is damaged, but my enthusiasm for reading this novel are not dampened!! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.id/products/8734674-a-zoo-in-my-luggage](https://www.desertcart.id/products/8734674-a-zoo-in-my-luggage) --- *Product available on Desertcart Indonesia* *Store origin: ID* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
