Reader's note

Add a decorative vintage Penguin paperback to your collection with this 1964 edition of Gerald Durrell's The Whispering Land! This book searches the windswept Patagonian shores and tropical forests in the Argentine for additions to his private zoo. Penguin and elephant seals make way for an absurd family of foxes who dance gracefully with a roll of lavatory paper, and we see the author baiting a trap for a recalcitrant vampire bat with one of his own toes. The author divines the characters of these creatures with the same clear, humorous, and sentimental eyes with which he regards those chance human acquaintances whose conversation in remote places he often reproduces in all their devastating and garbled originality.
