About this listen

Following on from the events in A Zoo in My Luggage, The Whispering Land sees Gerald Durrell and his wife Jacquie travel to Argentina to collect animals for their newly established zoo. With rare insight and unique charm, Durrell pulls the listener into the tropical landscape of Patagonia, where he witnesses magical moments with penguins, seals and ocelots, and encounters a hilarious cast of characters, including a swearing parrot and a belching guanaco.

Durrell's description of his South American adventures many decades ago is a delight to listen to. The presenter, Rupert Degas, was excellent and added colour and charm to the narration. I loved the ebb and flow of the story. One of Gerald's best books.

Sumptuous descriptions of a bygone era
