Summary
At the age of two Gerald Durrell decided that all he wanted to do in life was study animals. He filled his home with them but, as his ambitions swelled, so the hostility of his family became more implacable. The only solution was to work in a zoo, and so one winter's day he found his way to Whipsnade.
From Albert the lion who was sulky and blustering by nature to Babs the polar bear who bowled him over and the bull buffalo who covered his coat with clouds of white and frothy spittle. Gerald Durrell loved it all. Beasts in My Belfry is the account of his life at Whipsnade, which triumphanthly fulfils the highest hopes of all who have been long dreaming of his adventures.
